"You need to buy this special heater pad to break the screen adhesive!"

No, I think you will find that in fact I don't.

No, that temperature would damage your screen. The professional hot plates for phone repair are typically set to 85-90°C. With a heat gun you may need to set a higher temperature since you are only heating up part of the phone and it cools down again during the process. My printer (Prusa MK3) with PCB heater can go up to 120°C, so it looks perfect for the job.

A heat gun is enough to melt through plastic, there is no need for higher temperatures. You can do it with a hairdryer.
