Defrosting Frozen Coils or Pipes
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.
Parts and other materials can be speed dried by waving the heated air stream over the work until dried.
Stretching, Shaping and Installing Vinyl
Direct hot air stream at vinyl section and wave heat gun in a back and forth motion. Stretch and shape until wrin- kles are removed. DO NOT aim at glass.
Direct hot air stream at frozen part and wave back and forth until part is defrosted or thawed.
Loosening Nuts and Bolts
Direct hot air stream at nut or bolt to be loosened for a short period of time. Heating the nut or bolt will cause the metal to expand. Remove the air stream from work piece. Loosen nut or bolt with proper wrench.
