Question 1

Will this work on sealing packages in bubble wrap?

Accepted Answer

I haven't sealed bubble wrap, however, I've used it to seal shrink wrap. It does well but after a min of usage it won't come back on until it cools down. So if you have a bunch of items to seal you may want to get a higher wattage heat gun.

Question 2

Does this heat up hot enough to remove paint from an wrought iron table?

Accepted Answer

This particular gun doesn’t heat very hot. It’s frustrating and will stop working if it gets too hot, but never gets too hot to touch. I would look for a different heat gun. I bought a new one to replace this one.

Question 3

Does it melt shrink wrap smoothly?

Accepted Answer

wire heat shrink?  takes a bit

Question 4

will this work to Heat Shrink Connectors for Electrical splicing?

Accepted Answer

I don't see why it wouldn't.  The heat shrink/solder butt-splice connectors I've been using recently specify 80 C to melt the adhesive and 138 C to melt the solder. Most regular heat shrink tubing takes a lot less than 80 C to shrink it.  I've been using the Recollections heat embossing tool I "borrowed" from my wife's crafting stash to repair some broken wires in my truck and it worked great for the heat shrink and the shrink/solder butt-splice connectors, although on the larger connectors with more solder, it did sometimes take an extra minute or so, but still worked without issue.  As the Homidic Mini Handheld Hot Air Gun in this listing has similar wattage specs, I'd think it would do as well or maybe even better as the nozzle looks a little smaller on this one and it claims to reach 200 degrees (I assume Celsius as most heat guns seem to state temps in  Celsius first).
