[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 434303, member: 13599"] always start off with the less aggressive methods and work up from there. in my world, I have no problem putting a MAP or propane bottle torch to something I need to get loose or melt...... this comes from decades of using heat and big hammers. - you will develop a broad range of skill sets as you putter up Life's Highways - [b]a 6x6" square of cured 5200 can be removed with the wire wheel in a drill in probably less than 5 minutes.... a heat gun will speed up the process a bit[/b] The electric heat gun gets really hot over a wide area. Propane is more heat concentrated in a small area. MAP Gas is much more heat concentrated in a small area. [ATTACH type="full" alt="Heat Sources.jpg"]92041._xfImport[/ATTACH] used correctly, all three heat sources are excellent for removing vinyl decals, paint and all kinds of adhesives. the propane and MAP torches are good for loosening frozen metal parts, bolts, etc. .
