Do not, repeat NOT, try to use a heat gun paint stripper for Monokote or any othe plastic covering material. There are quite a few irons on the market for applying model covering. I personally use Coverite irons both trim and regular. They have a heat control dial on the irons. You can also get a thermometer that sits on the iron and will tell you the exact heat. Read the directions on the covering roll and you will find a suggested heat for application. Some are high heat and others lower.
