Had to buy a hot air gun for a quick job. Now im stuck with it seeing where to stick it or what to do with it.

>>3001324If I attach a nozzle on it how well would it work as a heat lance to kill weeds between cracks?
Curing enamel paint, rejuvenating old plastics
>>3001324you can heat up acrylic glass (carefully not to burn it) and bend it into other shapes. I made a custom stand for my lego knockoff tiger I tank that fits snugly around my dolby surround center box. Like a glove.
What everyone else said plus thawing pipes, and also warming up vinyl upholstery material to get it to stretch around tight corners, and warming rattle cans in the middle of winter to get paint to spray better.
>>3001324>What cool shit can i do with one of these?if it was up your ass you'd know.
>>3001324Cut PVC vertically in the middle. Point heat gun. Flatten it with a board. Now you have a free sheet.
>>3001324It's a bit weies that seemingly half of dudes on /DIY/ operate backwards, instead of goal - > project - > acquire materials and tools - > execute its sort of reversed, starting with buying shit and everything else optional.Anyways, a project for you: I made sheaths for my axes and a blade protector for a my scythe with one of those, en lieu to what previous commenters suggested:Cut up PVC tube, flatten, mold around an axe edge, rivet seams et voila. Holds b itself like a holster, no strap needed. Beforw I had leather ones that would be heldon by an elastic band around the poll and it would never take long for the thing to accidentially be cut.

>>3001324If you have a 3d printer you can use it to heat up a model and press it onto another model so it bends and takes its shape. Its called thermoforming. If you want to make custom packaging for toys or small products you can use it for vacuforming although that requires some extra devices
My preferred method for starting charcoal for BBQ - fill a metal chimney with charcoal, tilt, apply heat gun at different points till coals are lit then apply more heat on top. Fun part is at first the coals start to glow, then you start getting lots of sparks, then WHOOSH, mass reaches a sort of flashover point where you’re in turbo mode as you direct the heat clear up the chimney - makes a cool sound. That’s when you know you have most of the coals lit.
Use heat gun or a torch to flatten end of caulk tubes, cut out a small triangle on top and you’ll get a nice clean bead.Also fun to make with pvc - diy archery bows. You can make remarkable bows and give them a wood like appearance with a little paint and gel stain. You can insert a bundle of fiberglass rods if you want to make it more powerful and harder to draw.
