Default All the uses for a heat gun

Hey experts out there! For my April class, I want to feature he heat gun.
What else can be done with it besides:

*embossing
*candles (both tissue and directly into the candle)
*heat and stick powder
*stamping into a hot piece of foam sheet
*scratch n sniff (can some one tell me ways to do this? Could you use heat and stick powder to stick he Koolaide on?)

Those are the ones I thought of. Are there more? Please elaborate if it is a unique technique...

how about for "curling" the organdy ribbon? love that look!

just point the heat gun at the ribbon you want to curl until you get desired effect--I usually hold one side with the bone folder so I don't burn my fingers.

A heat gun (or hair dryer) will soften most price stickers enough to take them off with no mess.

for the scratch & sniff, I believe you mix the koolaid or the jello with clear embossing powder, and then emboss, that is how it sticks.

This is a great concept because I've been trying to justify the expense of the heat gun myself! It would be especially helpful to find alternate household uses so that I could convince dh!

My DH uses my heat gun for removing paint. Well he did until I let him buy his own paint heat gun. Get yourself a heat gun with a Micheals coupon that should make your DH happy.

I know there was a thread on people's military husbands using them to really shine up their shoes.

I may be wrong here, but I believe it was originally designed as a wallpaper stripper.

Default embossing scents

Yes, just mix your koolaide with the clear embossing and emboss as usual. During christmas I bought some of the small ceramic gingerbread ornaments from Michaels. Pressed them into the VersaMark and then coated them with a cinnamon/ginger mixed with the clear powder. I double-embossed for a stronger scent. Turned out great!

If you want to move or remove something from a card you have created and used mono adhesive on, just heat it with your heat gun from the back and it comes right off! Wow, I love that! I sometimes make mistakes or change my mind! lol
