I just purchased a heat gun. Looking through the manual at the temperature suggestions for various projects I come across the following:
Use Temp. Setting
Removing:
Floor coverings (adhesive backed) . . . .......... . .350º - 750º F
Paint . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .750º - 1150° F
Drying:

Heating:
Shrink-tube (electrical) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .350° - 650º F
Frozen water pipes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .1150° - 1350º F
Molding and bending Plexiglass and Formica . .. .250° - 450º F
Waxing skis .and snowboards . . .. . . . . . . . . .250° - 450º F
Any body actually do that? I'm an iron guy myself, but a heat gun seems like a real inefficient and difficult way to go about it.
