I guarantee you it will work better than that heat gun. Better yet...a few seconds in your oven(while still on the platen)under the broiler element is even better for flashing. Please EVERYBODY....toss that heat gun!!!

I got my heat gun with the kit I bought and I think I did not even plug it in once.
I use my oven instead and works just fine.
The only thing is I'm not too sure about the toxicity of the plastisol fumes but I try to keep all te windows open and breathe up the least possible amount.

S toss your guns and use ovens.
Peace
