spoonbender Posted December 24, 2010 Report Share Posted December 24, 2010 What should I look for in a heat gun? Any suggestions on which one to get? Variable heat ranges and a High/Low speed selector would be my thoughts, works well for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your jigs got oohs and aahs at the lake today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Mark, that is all I use to heat my jigs up so I can powder paint them. Also the heat will get hot enough to melt the lead off of a jig head so you have to be careful if you use it on higher setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUBAR Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 I have a cheap heat gun from the local Harbor Freifght Tools store that has served me well. It has a high and low setting and was around 10 bucks. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred27 Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 I have this model from Ace Hardware. Have been using it around two years now with no trouble at all. I use it on the low setting. http://www.acehardwa...hId=53642047693 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
