I can't believe how much easier it is to get tails and G4 neck plugs back in after using a hairdryer to soften the plastic a bit. Those two steps used to be the BANE of my existence, now they're SO SO SO super simple that I can barely believe it. It takes, like, NO effort! Why did it take me so long to start using it?! (And thank you to whoever it was who tipped me off about it).
Haven't tried it on a pony with an FBR yet, but I'm guessing it can't do much more damage than all the poking and prodding and pulling I used to do.
