can this get hot enough to bend acrylic tubing?

Yes, I believe it can, depending on thickness and type of tubing...solid or hose-like...

Although I haven't used it for that, most acrylic melts at. 400 degrees F, and this heat gun's highest setting is 350 C, which is 662 F

I believe it will. I glued clear acrylic panels together with it. I kind of melts or welds two pieces of acrylic into one piece. Hope this helps.

Absolutely. The tubular steel is flattened to a tab at the end, and you can bend this.

I don't think it will. This glue works chemically, like welding) to bond just acrylic.

They will bend if warmed with a heat gun. I've also used hard acrylic straws as replacement tubes. They can be bent the same way.

I would think you could use on either - just make sure the temperature controller is placed properly. Plastic piping is slower in heat transfer that steel/metal. Not sure if the control should be on fitting (PEX) or the tubing, might have to experiment. Absolutely insulate as best you can, this makes it cheaper to operate. I have used it with the black Armaflex as well as fiberglass, even Styrofoam.

Wish I could help you. I only used mine for curves. It seems thin enough to bend though.

You may get away with it if you're careful. Preforms are supposed to be PETE (Polyethylene Terephthalate) (Recyle type 1 plastic) i.e. Preformed water bottles. The plastic melts at 250 degrees C. An Autoclave can get to 134 degrees C plus. So in theory, the preforms should be able to stand the heat. I would try one first on a ceramic or glass plate before committing a large quantity. Good Luck.

I think it could take the temperature your hand can hold. I used it to seal crack value on tube tire.

Yes,This has a slight bending ability. But not enough to bend on a curve. Bending might break the seal inside. Contact the manufacturer for these type of questions.

I got this a year ago this is very hard to bend if is a arc bend yes but if you have aVery short or sharp bend this one is not going to work for you.....good luck

Yes, it can handle far more heat than 200f, and the vibration shouldn't hurt it if allowed proper time to cure. Make sure there is NO paint/oil/etc. on the valve covers when you put it on. Although this IS ONLY 5g, I imagine the size heatsink you are using on a valvecover is quite large for this small amount of epoxy.

This is a very flexible tubing. I've experienced some really stiff tubing, especially when the temperature drops, but this isn't one of those.

I cannot see that the strip can be bent at a true 90 with some radius to the bend. No, it cannot be cut and soldered, only cut to desired length. Plan on some radius...probably about 1"?

You may be able to do it, but it is definitely not recommended. This Box and Pan brake is designed for 20ga steel (.036"). I have bent a 24" piece of .050" - 6061-T6 aluminum and was able to do it, but was really about the max that I could bend and it took a fair amount of effort to make that bend. I would not try to bend .125" aluminum which is more than twice what I bent. I think you might damage the brake.

You could but you need to watch your contact time because aluminum will heat up quickly. And this tool has a lot of RPM's

I suppose you could use this for bending flat wire for jewelry but it's not really made for small intricate work. Say for example you want to make a small ring or circle; the smallest this item will do is approximately 3 inches. Also, the rollers are knurled so it will leave marks on your metal which would need sanding and polishing.
