lifted off without damage to
the surface.

Bending and Forming Plastics
Experiment with a piece of scrap
material first to develop a proper
technique. Place plastic piece into
a proper holding fixture. Wave hot
air along the whole length of the
"Bend" line until plastic softens
along that area. Bend plastic to
desired position.
Removing Old Putty
When removing putty from a bro-
ken window, carefully remove the
broken glass first. When removing
putty from an undamaged window,
direct the hot air stream away from
the glass to prevent cracking due
to thermal shock. It is convenient to
shield the glass from the hot air
with a large putty knife. Wave the
hot air stream at putty until soft-
ened. Remove with putty knife.
Speed Drying Parts
Parts and other materials can be
speed dried by waving the heated
air stream over the work until dried.

to be loosened for a short period of
time. Heating the nut or bolt will
cause the metal to expand.
Remove the air stream from work
piece. Loosen nut or bolt with
