Okay, I know we’ve been going crazy with the countless applications of the heat gun, but there are just so many! Who knew having a handheld heat-spewing device could be useful in so many situations?! With that said, this will be the last time I’ll be covering heat gun hacks, at least for the near future. This time, we’ll be looking at heat gun tips and tricks from YouTuber NewKew which you can use in everyday situations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NGIJ4nwwwO4 Bending Plastic Rulers Into Supports While not a hack per se, being able to bend plastic by heating it is more useful than you think.

Your average everyday heat gun is a definite boon when it comes to handiwork. You can use it to heat frozen pipes, shrink wrap plastic, and more easily strip paint, just to name a few handy uses. But did you know you can also incorporate a high-powered heat gun into your artwork? While it may seem excessive, The Hedgehog Hollow found a couple of neat applications for a heat gun which can give your art (and in one instance, your coffee addiction) some added flair. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=go8Bpg3tGkk Melting and Spreading Coloring Materials We all know the heat gun is capable of producing hot air, so it comes as no surprise that…
Welding projects like Metal Inert Gas (MIG), Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) and stick welding can generate up to 10,000°F of heat. In this kind of work, our hands do so much for us, particularly in dealing with such high temperatures. It’s a good thing there are welding gloves to keep our hands safe from the intense temperatures of these project types. Just like welding jackets, welding gloves are considered personal protective equipment (PPE) that shield our hands against the risks and hazards of weld arcs. These gloves can cover our hands against electric stimulation, excessive heat, and UV exposure and offer resistance to abrasion and better grip. Welding gloves are…
While food could be cooked in healthier ways like baking and roasting, let’s admit it, we still crave that deep-fried food oozing with so much extra fat. Well, who could say no to crispy fries and chicken, right? Not me, for sure. Good thing, air fryers offer similar flavor in a healthier form. An air fryer is an appliance that uses high-speed circulation of extremely hot air around the food to turn them into the crispy treat we are craving for, with considerably less oil, while retaining the flavor. These devices reduce oil by 70 to 90% while delivering results quite similar to deep-fried foods. What more is that an…

You’re experiencing the Mandela Effect. The Birth of Mandela Effect The term Mandela Effect first started with Fiona Broome, a self-proclaimed paranormal consultant claiming she witnessed the death of Nelson Mandela in prison in the 1980s when in fact, he lived until 2013. Broome even asserted that she watched the news covering Mandela’s death and his wife giving out a speech about it. This probably wouldn’t make much noise if Mandela wasn’t a famous person or…
Your garden plants deserve the best: fertilizers, soil, fresh air, plenty of sunlight, mowers, and a lot of other important tools. Plants, especially those that are delicate like bonsai, need specific tools that can take care of their daily maintenance and care. Bypass pruners are one of them. Bypass pruners have specific kinds of blades that can efficiently cut stems without hurting the plant itself. They leave clean cuts to hard branches of trees and shrubs that are usually up to 2-centimeter thick. This could be a real challenge to typical kinds of scissors you know, but with these blades specialized for pruning… everything is a breeze. Bypass pruners nonetheless…
