Thanks Bruce.
To my mind this is absolutely the right tool for any fabric that’s not UL, but it needs time to learn how to use it to the best advantage. I also have a little 700watt ‘solder re-work station’ thing which I tried once. Both temp and air-flow are easily controlled, but the thing is just a wimp, like using a candle when you need a search light. Blowing stuff around the work bench was a problem at first, but with a dozen clamps and little planks etc to clamp to, that problem went away.
The temperature gauge gives you total control over the gun and the job in hand – you only know what you’re doing if you know what your tools are doing.
Yes, I’m very pleased with how the tie-downs turned out, and they only needed the simplest little jig to make the job quick and easy.
Cheers,
Lyn
