What Is a Heat Gun?
While its name may seem pretty self-explanatory, there is a bit more to knowing what a heat gun is and when you can use it for craft purposes. This small tool is akin to a hair dryer in that it uses hot air to work but the temperatures are, of course, incomparable. A heavy-duty model will easily reach up to 650°C and above, which means you shouldn’t be using one of these on your locks any time soon. Instead, you can take advantage of this device’s power to strip paint, shrink wrap materials, weld plastic, thaw frozen objects (just make sure they won’t be melted by the hot air), and even dry out paint and glue.
Using such a tool requires caution, of course, as the electric device easily reaches temperatures that are dangerous to humans. Thankfully, the sleek design of these tools helps practice caution as the heat gun resembles, well, a gun. You can hold onto the handle and trigger while you work and, if your model is well-made without any faults, the body itself shouldn’t get too hot either. It might still be prudent to wear a pair of gloves for protection though.
