Heat guns are alot hotter than hair dryers so don't let the wash cloth dry out. Experiment with a scrap piece of wood first.
Used your method last night with distilled water and a hair dryer on a small dent and it brought out most of the dent until the hair dryer kicked off from getting to hot. I will work on the small dent some more today. The finish has held up so far but Im still alittle worried when it comes to the larger dent. Both of these dents are close to the top of the comb and the dents stick out more. Wish they were on the bottom and I wouldn't even mess with it. Also found the Timberluxe finish that Dean was talking about at Coles in Florida for $13.99 if I need it.
