Gotta keep it moving. Never keep in one spot.....ever. I mostly used mine for fitting ski boots.One of the few tools I do have. I bought it to smooth 3d prints, it just melted them.

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.Gotta keep it moving. Never keep in one spot.....ever. I mostly used mine for fitting ski boots.
I left it aimed inside the can for 10 minutes... made the basement reek of a burned hair smell lol .Nice, start cooking your charcoal ;D
You can control how hot with more distance between the two.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'd move it over the outside of the can as well.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.

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

You're gluing to ply not drywall?Done. I don't think my basement has ever been this clean lol.

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
I would just stapleno 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.

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

Hard to beat a quality "bright white" ceiling paint for light reflectance value.
It is likely paint will fill the tiny staple holes. More likely a 2nd coat would fix any holes left after the first coat.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.
Use the right length staple! lollol 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.
Agree....paint works great. You can repaint after a bunch of grows. Or get a washable flat.It is likely paint will fill the tiny staple holes. More likely a 2nd coat would fix any holes left after the first coat.
