    Using a heat gun on mylars will produce off gassing, fumes harmfull to your health.

    For those that have more ambition than I, you could probably scrap the conductive silver ink free from the mylars using a paint scraper. To be effective you would have to place a smooth solid sheet under the mylar.

    Save the powder that comes off this will be your silver.

    I think I'll just save mine for now.
