I used a heat gun on low setting of 750watt, worked just fine, just be careful not to get too close, it can melt it.

I would suggest warm set rollers and steamer with styling brush to straighten. If you have a cheap jumbo curling iron, the low setting will not melt it. You should be able to touch the barrel with your hand. I would strand test. So far I have only used the electric set of rollers and comb using my fingers not a brush. You can shake it and go.

I applied it dry, using a credit card to smooth out the air bubbles. Start from the middle and work your way out. Only need to use a dryer on curves surfaces. I don't see how making it wet would help with the air bubbles.

use your blow dryer to heat the sticker and glue. Peel sticker off slowly. This method works on just about any sticker on anything.

I don't have a certain temperature. I use either my hair dryer or my heat gun at a distance of about 10-12 inches.

hi. I found a great solutions for "unwinding" hair (people and dogs) around the brush and around the wheels of the vaccuum. Go and get a sewing product called a "seam ripper". The concept is almost like a letter opener. Inexpensive. Better than unwinding the hair by hand or with a scissor. Let me know how you do with it.

I've never attempted to do anything like that but I imagine if you started out using low setting it will be ok. I've only used it for heating up kydex for knife sheaths and it doesn't scorch the kydex or anything. So I imagine melting ice wouldn't be an issue if start out low heat. A blow dryer might not have the kick you need.

You could try using sandbags. Or something similar. I have thought about it since on windy days the dryer will blow over. You could also try to tie the legs down, but I don't know how well that would work. You could also weight some sturdy plastic or rubber bags of water (to act like sandbags) but you could decide how much water to use and therefore how much they would weigh). Sorry I don't have any better answers.

If you have ALREADY cut it - maybe duct tape would solve the problem? Some duct tapes quickly dry, get brittle, and become useless when exposed to sunlight, some take longer. UV resistant tape would be best. Maybe try melting one end a little with a heat gun, or maybe even a really hot hair dryer? Some plastics respond well to heat - others hate it. Experiment. I don't think glue or caulk will stick to it well enough to do any good. I hope you didn't really cut them yet. They are designed to be stretched or squished to the right length, not cut. (It takes a good bit of effort. Two people may be needed.) Then just fit little square end of one into the big square end of the next one. Arrange them like two nested funnels, with big ends at the top, and little ends down, so if twigs or leaves get inside they will be less likely to hang at the joint. There are some screw holes there for fastening them together. I did not use any screws, but "tied" the pipe in place with some Velcro straps, so I could more easily remove it for cleaning. Gutter at my house is two stories up. I rent, and can't get to gutter to screen it or clean it, so some debris gets into a curve in the down spout. When spout clogs, water sprays from the joint onto the window with the AC, and gets into my kitchen. I need to take spout apart at the bend and look for clogging fairly often.

Use a hair dryer on the velcro for a couple of seconds. It heats up the stickiness and the velcro just peels right off.

Try a lower heat. Most flat irons are too hot but there are some that have adjustable heat settings

heat gun maybe but I have not had luck and it is bulky. I would try epoxy or just a little gorilla glue as it expands

No need for a professional heat gun. A normal hair dryer woll do just fine.

my hair is thick and I first dry it with a normal hairdryer because it would take a very long time with the curler as it is not that high powered or hot. But, drying with the regular dryer I get it 95% dry then style with the curler. My hair is straight does not have any wave, kink, curl what-so-ever so the styler tames broken split ends....gives it shape, and a slight curl under. I do not believe it replaces a normal blow dryer...at least not for me

I used mine first on a hot skillet. I think the heat helped to regain its flatness. You could try putting it over a large skillet of simmering water

I haven't tested it on curved surface. My dash is slanted and it grips it like a welder's hand.
