heat gun
billmac:
Any recommendations on a heat gun? As always, I want to keep the $$ down as far as possible. How hot does it need to be?
Thanks,
Bill
Hillbilly:
I got mine (cheapo two-speed) at Lowe's for about twenty bucks, it does all I need it to.

I think any of the commercially-available paint-stripping guns will work. I always use mine on the high setting, so it wouldn't need a low setting. And as for how hot it gets, if its lower wattage it might just take you longer to get the wood hot. I think mine was under $20 but that was a few years ago. They are sure a handy little item to have when it comes to straightening a stave.

I got mine from a garage sale for $5. It also is 2 speed and I believe it is Black&Decker. Any decent heat gun should work. look around for the best price but no matter , it will pay for itself in a short time. Pat

Don't buy a tool shop brand mine lasted 5 mins. Kapow burnt up.
I have a Stanley now.
