Discovered a weird trick using a hairdryer to fix a bulging phone battery

I had an old iPhone 6s with a swollen battery that I couldn't get the adhesive to release on. After 20 minutes of struggling, I grabbed my wife's hairdryer and hit it on low for about 90 seconds, and the whole back came off clean without prying. Has anyone else tried unconventional heat sources like that or is this just a rookie move that'll backfire eventually?

My buddy tried a heat gun on his Samsung once and ended up with a melted back plate and a very unhappy wife. Your mileage may vary with that trick for sure.
