Me too.  Easy to control the temp with it.
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

I use a paint stripper too but keep it on the low setting or its possible to scorch edges or relief carving.

Thanks for your thoughts. A friend loaned me his heat gun and I got the stocked blushed with no problem.
