What tablet? If the guide you've looked at (I assume you have if you think you need a heat gun) indicates a heat gun is needed then you may not be able to do it without one. iFixit sells "device openers" that are, I believe, rice packs that get heated in the microwave. These MAY be able to take the place of a heat gun.

Rice packs, unless used by someone experienced, can crack screens. It's not worth the risk for someone not experienced.

If you've never done it under supervision (and it usually takes about 5 devices before you can remove a screen without breaking something), pay a shop to do it.
