Ideal for: - WOOD - LEATHER (burned) - PLASTIC (welding = material repair + cutting) - SOLDERING - IRONING tiny sections of applications PAPER or FABRIC SEWING (ironing: embroidery on fusible base, melting nylon/polyester threads or fabric to fix. Milling applications: making flowers for hats, etc.) is now in my TOP 10 MUST-HAVE TOOLS along with other basic tools such as Hammer, screwdriver, iron, vacuum cleaner. . 1 small piece of plastic broke and it would have cost me $65 to replace the bowl. 10 minutes with this thing and $0 fixed it like new. "I have corrected countless things from friends in this way. I recommend 10/10. I've saved hundreds on repairs alone. It's totally worth it. Will be replaced if it ever fails. TIPS: - CLEANING TIPS: Plastic Welding/Soldering to fix broken plastic: Take a cotton cloth to wipe the tip while using. (Must be cotton. Any synthetic blend will melt on your iron.) Then use a high grit sandpaper (400, 600 or really 200+) to wipe down the tip and scrape off the dirt. Keeps your handpieces clean and like new - ATTACH THE BASE/HOLDER TO AVOID BURNING YOURSELF: Use outdoor masking tape to securely fasten a hot tool to your table to prevent it from slipping and burning yourself. The tape will peel off immediately when you're done. Or fix it on the table by placing a piece of rubber pad under the metal holder/base. The dial can move slightly, so you can unintentionally increase or decrease the heat if you trip over something. By sticking a small piece of tape: 1/2 on the tool, 1/2 on the heating wheel/handle, it stays right where you want it. Then when you're done, it will peel off immediately. The tape I use to hold the base in place and hold the temperature controller in place: ScotchBlue 2097-48EC outdoor masking tape, 1.88 inches at 45 yards. This is my new favorite tape for all projects because it peels in a straight line and sticks to anything and gently peels off any type of surface. Worth buying extra tips: SE WP28 28pcs Wood Burning Pen Tips. You might think you won't be using some of these tips, and you're right, but you can use a dremel to grind them down and make sharper tips, as plain pointed tips will wear out.
