This question comes through email by M:
Hi,
I am frustrated with bubbles and have combed the web, youtube, blogs etc. for help. One idea from your site that I want to do is buy a heat gun. What features are necessary in your opinion? They seem to range in price from $15-$75, and have features like variable temperature, cordless, stand or not, etc. I believe in paying more of its necessary but if not why pay more? Any help would be great, Thanks! -
Hi M,
In my opinion, the most important features are that the heat gun can blow a lot of heat WITHOUT a lot of force behind the air. The heat is necessary to pop the bubbles, but too much air force will blow the resin out of your mold. I purchased mine at a major crafting outlet. It was designed to shrink wrap plastic around gift baskets. You can see it in this video on the Resin Obsession youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pdObUZVA0I&list=UUq9DbnfK7sFPe9kcUEtVYaQ Im not quite sure how hot it gets (you turn it on and it gets hot), but it does get HOT. I could easily burn myself if I turned the heat on myself.
I dont know that a stand is very important provided you have a place you can set it to cool. Mine isnt cordless; Im fortunate that my crafting area has plugs close by. Heat without a lot of air force are the most important things to me.
