I bought this heat gun for acrylic painting to spot bubbles or cells. For this purpose it works great. It heats up very quickly, has moderate heat dissipation (meaning it gets nice and warm but not too hot), has fairly strong blowing power and heat dissipation, and is very comfortable to use. I'm not sure what other projects I'll use it for, but I'm sure I'll find another use for it, it would be great for helping small projects dry faster. I am very happy with my purchase.
