APPLICATIONS:
Great for: Applying heat to shrinking products - Curing epoxy and softening adhesives - Drying, thawing frozen pipes - Softening and molding plastics - Heating liquids and stripping paint.
For paint stripping (450 to 500 deg C) , the maximum speed and the maximum air flow is generally required - these settings are also needed for other jobs such as soldering plumbing joints and freeing rusty nuts. Other uses for the heat gun include:
- drying paint or varnish - 30 to 130 °C - care has to be taken as dust particles may be blown onto the paint/varnish.
- drying out damp wood (before filling or painting) - around 100 to 200°C.
- softening adhesive (such as when applying worktop edge trim or lifting floor tiles) - 300 to 400°C.
- bending plastic pipes - 200 to 300°C.
- heat-shrinking plastic film - 200 to 300°C.
- welding some plastics - 330 to 400°C.
The hot air gun can be applied to melt the paint, bend plastic pipes, shrink wrap, soften the glue to flip brick and so on. It will provide you the best decoration without any adverse effects, if you selected the appropriate temperature and the best distance. When the temperature goes high, the paint / plastic material of the object surface will be melted and easy to remove. To help cool the device and get extension of life, switch it from HIGH to LOW and blow for 16s when you stop using. Do not blow the hot air directly to human body in case of injury.
