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.
