Very cool! (or hot!)
I use a heat gun almost on a daily basis. The one that he's using is a real cheap one! This is a 'real' heat gun!

If you're going to buy one & use it fairly often, this is the one I recommend. The one I have now is over 20 yrs. old. The reason that I say to get one of these is because they last. They can be rebuilt, & the element is replacable. It also has warnings on the nozzle saying that the temp out of the heat gun can reach 1000 degrees.(!) It WILL light up most things flammable, including clothing. It has no respect for human flesh!
The type used in the vid, I would burn out 3 in a year. At $20.00 each, you can see why the one I use is cheaper in the long run. They last longer, because they have a 'cool' cycle. Once you finish using them, run it on cool until you can hold your hand in front of it. The cheap ones, when you turn them off, retain all that heat inside of the body & eventually they cook themselves to death. They are an extreme fire hazard, even when off, but still hot from use. Watch where you put them down when finished using them.
If you are to do this, be very careful to keep the gun moving in circles. From my exp. the guy in the vid doesn't start moving it properly until the 6 minute mark. For someone with little experience using this tool, the way he moves the gun around up until that point is recipe for disaster. As in bubbled, warped, melted.
Other than that, I'm off to do the step plate plastic on my '97 right now!
Thanks for the post!
