A tool roughly similar to a hair dryer (but much hotter), used for various industrial purposes such as shrinking heat-shrink tubing and films, and to reduce drying time of paints & resins. May also be used to remove dents from foam blanks (technique described in Swaylock's archives...)http://www.swaylocks.com/images/glossary/uploads/heatgun.jpg
