crupiea Posted January 30, 2021 Report Posted January 30, 2021 I have a ton of pieces hanging on the walls that are framed with my home made frames that are glued on. When I made them I didnt really care what the backs looked like so some , when viewed from behind, are crooked. Cant see it from the front so no big deal. Been selling some stuff so the backs I want the whole piece to look good front and back. If i bought one i would notice it and feel better if the back looked finished. cant really sell any of the 100's of items I have on the walls because of this. Bought a heat gun figuring I could pry the backing off and square it up. Worked way better that I thought it would. If you have this problem, I paid $20 for my heat gun at walmart and could not be happier with the results. The wood glue is still there but the painted pieces came off so I can mount them in better frames now. jollyred, Ken Lotts, OCtoolguy and 3 others 4 2 Quote
Rockytime Posted January 31, 2021 Report Posted January 31, 2021 Sounds great. I find a heat gun comes in handy for numerous things. OCtoolguy 1 Quote
OCtoolguy Posted January 31, 2021 Report Posted January 31, 2021 I bought a cheap H/D gun years ago and it does a great job. About the price. It probably came from the same little province in China as yours. I used to sell one by the name of Master for about $125 ten years ago. I couldn't afford my own tools. crupiea 1 Quote
