Re: Heat guns

Just got back from vacation. Looks like I missed a lot.

I have two observations on the subject. A guy at work who shrinks a lot of
tubing on wire has one of those small Bic powered torches. It works quite
well, but is not used around electronic components. They are about $20.

I broke down and bought a heat shrink gun. WOW. I should not have waited.
This is a very useful too for much more than MOTM stuff. Heat shrinking is
now simple on low heat. High heat will peel paint or ?? I used it to take
the permanent curve out of lawn edging from being rolled up in the box. If
you like tools, just buy one, you will thank yourself every time you use it
on MOTM and will find 100 other uses for it.
