[Nigel Hindley]

Hot air guns always burn my scalp.

I never realised how good a proper hair dryer was, till I saw one of these in action, OK its about twice the cost of a dewalt or bosch air gun, but delivers an incredible airflow, great for preheating large areas of vinyl. and also does temperatures far in access required for post heating.

it also is designed to work flat out for years.

I have just ordered one,

Peter

[Nicola McIntosh]

does it work with curlers in 🙄

peter you are serious eh? or are you taking the mick (?)

[Jason Davies]

What colour, just have an image of Robert De Niro in Stardust in my head now Peter.

😀 😀

[Robert Lambie]

im being serious, i hate the old voice from behind my back. "love the hair dryer mate" when fitting a van… never mind standing with a dinky pink or raunchy red salon services hair dryer in my hand. 😕 😳 :lol1:

so what heat tempreture does it reach peter (?)

[Peter Normington]

Rob, I didnt measure the temperature, but I could not hold my hand near it on the high setting for more than a few seconds, and I know from experience, it is as hot as needed for our job. I am serious here, I have ordered one and will even bring it to sign uk for you to evaluate

I’m on my 2nd Parlux hairdryer ……… seriously they’re the best you can buy.
But I do only use mine on my unruly hair!!!!! 😀

[Robert Lambie]

the one i posted the picture of just there is a long lasting professional industrial heat gun.
tempreture setting of 750 & 1000°F
will cost you about £75-£85

as you know it is imperative to get vinyl up to the required heat and gauged by laser temp device. the best i have found to date was about 500°F and burned out quickly. most others are about 200-300°F

time is always of the essence, particularly curing after the wraps in place.

I keep getting my privileges withdrawn if I borrow my wife’s pro hairdryer 🙁

p.s. you could always wrap it in Carbon Fibre Rob…then the big boys wouldnt laugh at you 😀

[Peter Normington]

I recently bought an airgun from machine mart that goes to 650 degrees.
cost about £45, far in excess of post heat requirements, it failed after a week of minimal use, Ok they replaced it but the new one sounds iffy,

This gun really does produce large quantities of hot air, (phil will know what I mean)

thats just it mate… they B&Q and light industrial use ones just dont cut it…
some reach the temps, but not fast enough. some do quickly, but motor burns out very quickly. im not just talking the black & decker, but also the bosch, dewalt etc

Rob, if you had a pink Hairdryer, you would be more noticable, and less stepped on 😀

heat gun or hair dryer?
Could be a heated debate here
(hot)

[Jill Marie Welsh]

I use my hair dryer for removing vinyl more than I use it on my hair.
I think heat guns are dangerous.
What really scares me is when I see guys using torches.
Maybe jealous would be a better word, I would singe myself and the vehicle.
😉
Love….Jill

Flashlights are called torches here

[Jill Marie Welsh]

No I mean torches when they use the Rollepro.

Mean bit of kit though
