  • Heat Gun or Blow torch…..What’s your choice

    Posted by Karl Williams on 24 March 2009 at 19:29

    I’ve been looking at wrapping videos on youtube. Some wrappers use a blow torch to heat up the vinyl so I was wondering are the results better with these or the same as using a heat gun?

    Hi Karl,

    I bet the video’s with the blow torch’s are all americans, I myself am a vehicle wrapper and I use a heat gun rather than blow torch mainly for the reasons that they put out enough heat and health and safety wound’nt allow any one to use a blow torch and you can’t adjust the temperature.

    Funny really as someone nicked my dewalt heat gun from site friday 👿

    I wouldnt be keen on using one on a car, I normaly keep one with me just in case I cant get power for the hot air gun.
