Al showed you the best way in this situation.
Use the torch on moderate flame for irons, low flame for woods. (edited for woods)
Heat the hosel for 20 seconds. Move the flame around to different sides. I do 5 seconds on 4 sides. Set the torch aside or turn it off.
Wait 30 seconds for the heat to move move inward and break the epoxy.
Use the pulling tool of choice.
If it’s not ready to come off, heat for another 20, wait another 30 and try again. And again if you are dealing with something crazy. Most clubmaker epoxy will yield after the first heating. The head will be cool so quickly after pulling that you will be surprised.
If your propane torch head won’t turn down low, then you need a different one or a butane mini torch. You won’t burn the paint on woods with this method if you keep the flame low and moving. Well, burning can occur if you use too much heat at once, but it’s part of the learning process, lol. As long as you use minimal time and let it rest for the heat to work, it’s great.
Heat is heat. You have to reach 2xx degrees to break the bond. Heat guns heat up everything. The torch pinpoints the hosel. The heat and rest method minimizes the heating of everything except the hosel area.
