I'd suggest a hair dryer since it doesn't get as hot as a heat gut but the heat gun will work too if you're careful.

To remove residue use wd-40

i did the same thing with a red denim tank. but if you would like to save the badges i would suggest the hair dryer. when i pulled mine off, they came right of and the residue just peeled of without a mark. but the badges got bent a little when pulling them off, so i trashed them. you
