One of the few tools I do have. I bought it to smooth 3d prints, it just melted them.

Gotta keep it moving. Never keep in one spot.....ever. I mostly used mine for fitting ski boots.

It melted like a grocery store bag as soon as the heat hit it. I found that acetone vapor on abs prints makes a really smooth almost glass like surface.

I left it aimed inside the can for 10 minutes... made the basement reek of a burned hair smell lol .

You can control how hot with more distance between the two.

I'd move it over the outside of the can as well.

Done. I don't think my basement has ever been this clean lol. What do you think about using contact cement to glue the panda film to the walls instead of using staples? I'm not planning on firing up for a couple months so that should be enough time for the smells to dissipate.

Honestly I have no idea. I have visions of pulling out chunks of drywall. I've never used contact cement. @Aeroknow or @Singlemalt immediately come to mind for help on that one.

The walls are 1/8” oriented strand board. When I first installed the panda film I used gorilla glue spray adhesive but it started separating an hour later so I stapled the hell out of it

You're gluing to ply not drywall?

Panda might be a bitch to get something to stick......did the gorilla glue stay on the panda or the wall when it came off?

 

[Laughing Grass]

no drywall, it's a wooden structure. It stuck well to the panda film I think it's because the walls aren't smooth so I couldn't roll it on very well. I'm just guessing tho.

 

[Singlemalt]

Panda film is virgin resins polyethylene; which means that adhesives have a tough time bonding to it. You can try the hard way with specialty industrial adhesives, usually a 2 part process with cyanoacrylates (nasty dangerous fumes) and a serious pain in the ass process. Or you can use staples

Why not use simple white primer? It’s as reflective as panda film iirc.

Also see if your paint shops sell mildew preventer additive for the paint.

 

[BarnBuster]

Hard to beat a quality "bright white" ceiling paint for light reflectance value.

lol so staples it is. I wasn't crazy about the staples aesthetically and they poke through the wood a bit. All of the seams didn't perfectly line up and there would be a lot of light leaks to address if I only used paint.

It is likely paint will fill the tiny staple holes. More likely a 2nd coat would fix any holes left after the first coat.

Use the right length staple! lol

Agree....paint works great. You can repaint after a bunch of grows. Or get a washable flat.
