Default Hair dryer

Never used a hair dryer before, but I don't think they get near as hot as you would need them to cover. A heat gun gets 400 degrees farenhiet. Though I have heard of people using hair dryers to cover planes, for 12$ might as well just go get a heat gun and save yourself the extra time.

Default Heat Gun

I use a Black and Decker Heat gun. My R/C one quit so I tried the one I normally use for stripping paint. It has a low/high setting and it works great. Also, if it ever burns out I have a warranty on it.

Default Heat gun??

I'm glad that I'm not the only one that's using a Black & Decker heat gun....

People in my area thought that I was nuts when I told them about it....nooooooooo wrinkels at all...
Never use the high setting unless you want to pull the covering from three feet away....
