double heat gun

watchdaride · October 3, 2006

Started using it on Monday. A bit awkward to hold. I bought a couple Sears brand ones . It is a bit faster but I am sure once I get a few tricks down should be better. I will check back in a week or so .

Once you get to where the back glass is not shrinking fast enough for your speed, you are beyond being ready. It is awkward to get used to. Try it on easy back glass's and just hold it farther away then normal and slowly move in. You will get the feel of it quickly. :lol2

ok this may be a really dumb question but here goes.

If you were to set this up to try would you buy 2 identical heat guns or mix and match cuz it wouldnt matter anyway?

personally I would use two of the same so you don't get more heat to one side or more airflow off one then the other. keep it evenflow :lol2

that is how I would think of it as well. Just curious as to if it possibly mattered much.

I've been preaching the double heat gun for yrs..not many take to it..but I'll never go back to a single gun..a misconception is that it's too much heat, but in reality , it's the same heat over a greater area ..no redo issues over it either ..average shrink time is around 3 minutes

Thats it, its the same temp. just double the volume of hot air to shrink larger areas at a time! :inot
