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.

tom sawyer:
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.
