3)As paint begins to blister and bubble, move gun slowly in a steady progression across the surface. Follow closely with a scraping knife (a 2-inch wall scraper works best) to scrape the loosened paint. Preheat scraper as you are heating the paint surface. This increases the speed of paint stripping.

a.Removal of paint by using heat is based on the fact that all organic paints soften at elevated temperatures. When soft, the paint can be easily lifted off without damage to the surface.

b.When stripping paint from grooves in moldings, you can devise your own scraping tools. Old screwdrivers with ground-down blades and linoleum knives are often used.

4)When the task is completed, move rocker switch to "Cool" position. Allow blower to operate for a few minutes on cool.

SHRINKING TUBING

Use stand to free both hands. Slide tubing over area to be insulated. Place in air stream and move with a side to side motion until tubing has shrunk. Remove from air stream.

SHRINKING PACKAGING

After shrink wrap has been sealed around product, poke a small hole in it to allow trapped air to escape. Then wave heated air stream back and forth across package until shrink wrap has evenly shrunk.

REMOVING FLOOR TILE

Direct heated air stream at tile to be removed in a back and forth motion. This will soften the adhesive backing. Place putty knife under tile and lift to remove.

BENDING AND FORMING PLASTICS

Experiment with a piece of scrap material first to develop a proper technique. Place plastic piece into a proper holding fixture. Wave hot air along the whole length of the “Bend” line until plastic softens along that area. Bend plastic to desired position.

REMOVING OLD PUTTY

When removing putty from a broken window, carefully remove the broken glass first. When removing putty from an undamaged window, direct the hot air stream away from the glass to prevent cracking due to thermal shock. It is convenient to shield the glass from the hot air with a large putty knife. Wave the hot air stream at putty until softened. Remove with putty knife.
