Heat Gun Tips

Besides the obvious of embossing or heat and stick powders, try these other ideas:

• To dry glue on almost anything
• To set the Craft ink
• Blowing glitter across a stamped area to get a fine sprinkle.
• Blowing glitter or other small debris off of the your work space
• Dry your nail polish
• To heat up those price stickers on glass--just heat and then peel them right off.
• You can use your gun to remove hardened candle wax. Aim the heat at the wax. When it starts to melt, use a white paper towel to blot it up. Do this a little at a time to prevent scorching your surface.
• Use the heat gun to melt some candle wax onto your paper creating an abstract design, then do a direct to paper technique over it. The wax will resist the ink and also give your paper texture.
• Melt bits of broken crayons for a background resist.
• Speed up effectiveness of bleach stamping by heating the bleach stamped image from underneath after stamping.
• Make gift baskets and use it to shrink the shrink plastic over the basket.
• Melt stamped tissue paper to a candle.
