I've been covering my latest build.. (Senior Telemaster)

And I ran into an problem trying to shrink the MonoKote down...

One of the areas I'm trying to shrink is long and narrow, and I need the shrinking to happen along the shorter axis...

It seems like the heat gun is doing more harm than good. I can get the monokote heated up, but the wind from the gun stretches it out so much, that it actually stretches the coating out... By the time it cools down/shrinks down, it doesn't shrink enough.

Plus... An adjacent area needs shrinking, and I can get that one shrunk down.. but then return to the problem area.. the overblow screws up the first.. Argh!!!

So.. Is there a heat gun out there that delivers the heat, but not all the wind volume????

I tried pulling the gun further away from the surface, putting it at an angle..

As I type this.. I'm thinking of using a second iron, set on higher (shrinking temp) temperature, move it over the area...

Thoughts???? Ideas?????

TIA
