Man, I am a bit freaked. I want to switch straps on my PAM...but I sure don't want to burn my black Alligator strap and/or strip my screws by not heating enough...

Am I being paranoid?
A few drops of acetone (nail polish remover) will break the bond too. If you get it on your strap it may remove some of the black dye though. Not big deal on an Oyster or Jubilee bracelet, just make sure it is off the watch as the acetone could ruin the acrylic crystal or any paint.
