Applications
F Soft soldering: First, clean
metal parts you want to join. Then,
heat the point you want to solder
and offer up the soldering wire.
Use flux or a soldering wire with a
flux core to prevent oxide forming.
G Welding and joining plastic:
All parts being welded must be of
the same plastic material. Use an
appropriate welding rod.
Here are some of the applications
you can use STEINEL heat guns
for. This selection is by no means
exhaustive – no doubt you can
immediately think of other exam-
ples.
A Stripping paint: Paint is soft-
ened and can be removed with a
stripping knife and paint scraper
to leave a clean surface.
B Shrinking tubing on cables:
The shrink tubing is slipped over
the section you want to insulate
and heated. The tubing shrinks
by approx. 50% in diameter to
give a sealed union. Shrinking
is particularly fast and even using
reflector nozzles. Sealing and
stabilizing cable breaks, insulating
soldered joints, gathering cable
runs, sheathing terminal blocks.
C Forming PVC: Sheeting, pip-
ing or ski boots can be softened
and formed with heat.
D Lighting the barbecue:
Gets charcoal glowing in next to
no time; no more waiting.
E Thawing: Water pipes, frozen
door locks, steps. Gently thaws
and dries all in one go.
H De-soldering: Circuit boards
and other electronic components
may be soldered or de-soldered
using a reduction tip fitted on an
electronic heat gun.
I Joining sheeting: The sheets
are overlapped and welded
together. A slit nozzle is used to
direct heat under the overlap,
then the two sheets are firmly
pressed together with a feed
roller. Also possible: Repairing
PVC tarpaulins by overlap weld-
ing with a slit nozzle.
