My "timing" to watch this: Major Head ACHE, I turned OFF the Music!
following the VIDEO, I had to "rewind" to see it. I made SCREEN CAPTURES of the major scene changes !!!
the WHITE (PVC) did show the Air Heat GUN & FIRE BRICK !
the Black (¿ polyethylene?) NO heat source Shown BUT LOOK carefully at the bottom of CAN there were Signs of Heat applied.

It would have been helpful to have the solvent identified specifically as xylene, rather than having to rely on closed captioning. Also, the use of a heat gun with a flammable solvent like xylene is not the best idea: mixed xylenes, as one often gets at a hardware store, have a flash point of ~90-100°F. A safer way to apply heat would be to set the can with the plastic shreds and solvent in a bath of boiling water.
