SlickCelica Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Hi, Im thinking of getting one for two reasons. Curing VHT paint and also for the odd paint touch up (low heat). I've found this one from screwfix. Does anybody know if it will do the job? Thanks in advance http://www.screwfix.com/p/energer-2000w-heat-gun-240v/59740#product_additional_details_container p.s sorry, posted in wrong section. Can a mod move it please?

foxxy Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) I've used a heat gun to do this (not this one) to cure VHT on bike exhausts and it is effective (try getting a Yamaha YVPS into an oven even when the Missus is out - its not gonna happen). Then again I did put bike bits in the dish washer a few times. It takes time and patience but it is worth it, what have you got to lose? Just a tenner.

Lex_GTS Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 I'd go for that, when doing the rocker cover I just started the car between coats and let it cook it... Worked surprisingly well, but would be much easier with a heat gun. Just mind any rubber hoses etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
armoredfist2002 Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Depending on what your using the paint on and size you could just stick it in the oven. Done this with an exhaust manifold years ago, wrapped it in that fibre exhaust wrap tape, and put some high temp silver paint on it, had to put it in the oven as I couldn't put it on the car and cure it that way round.

Trebor4460 Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 also will come in handy for shrink wrap on wireing joins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
