It is much more controllable than a torch for heating Plexiglas or those lay-ups that need a little tweaking. Also, it is impressive how little heat is required to remove epoxy lay-ups. I wish I had bought one at the beginning of the project. You can add a little heat (very little) to a cured piece to allow trimming with a razor which saves time. Also, my wife bought me a set of Perma Grit tools for my birthday. These tools are making my workmanship much more acceptable. These tools would have saved me hundreds of hours if I had them from the start. Two worthwhile investments.
