The tub of  warm water is the best option. Sinew needs  damp heat to separate it safely.
 Not sure you're going to  be doing much of a rescue by just turning a heatgun on it.
 The whole point of hideglue is its  reversability. That's why it's still being used today for other purposes that require a reversible glue.

I only said it because i've done it and it works. You have to be careful but it does work. I understand about hide glues properties and have used it a lot in various applications. Sometimes soaking in water isn't an option. I agree that the safest method by far is that shown above and i'm sure it will help people.
