Hi Del,

I've been wanting to try the shrink Teflon.  Where do you get it?

Thanks and Happy New Year.

  Hey Guys & Dolls

  I though before I went out & purchased a new heat gun I'd see if any one
has a good used one they like to part with.  I use it primarily for heating
shanks. 

  Thanks

  Dale 

 

Part with an Unger heat gun? You're kidding, right?

 

I demonstrated one of these -- a Princess model -- in the first class I ever
did at a PTG Convention (1972, Portland, Oregon). The class was on grand
hammer hanging and I was using it to demonstrate heating hammershanks. It
was a carry-over from my Air Force days where I had used it to shrink Teflon
tubing around soldered joints. As I recall no one in the class had ever seen
one before but by the next year it had shown up in the Schaff or APSCO
catalog (I don't remember which). Since then I've been through several but
wouldn't dream of parting with the one I have now.

 

Speaking of shrinkable Teflon tubing -- it's still the best fix I know of
for sticky old Steinway butterfly springs.

 

Del
