Just partially block the air intakes. It'll get hot fast. Just be careful it doesn't start to melt inside.

no it wont, there is a thermal cutoff inside

Hmm. I've got one here I use for heat-shrink tuning I used masking tape on to lower airflow and boost temp. I'm not sure its hot enough to melt solder (probably not) but its great for heat-shrink. I suppose a YMMV is in order.

If you remove thermal cutoff you will:

a/ burn the heater

b/ melt whole thing

c/ burn your house

a combination of those things.
