Hello Generation of Cosplayers!
DarthNancy here ^_^ It's What-No-To-Do Thursday! It's time to talk about the mistakes many of us make while we work on cosplay.
Today's topic will be... what not to do when using heat gun!
A heat gun is precisely what it sounds like: a gun that applies high heat. Heat guns are particularly popular in the cosplay world for working with thermoplastics like Worbla. Heat guns can be pretty dangerous, so it is important to handle them with care.
What can go wrong with a heat gun? Well, first of all you can burn yourself with the hot air and/or with the extremely hot steel end of the gun. I myself have burned myself by accidentally touching the tip of the heat gun...it was not fun T_T Don't burn yourself!
It is also extremely important that you work on cement or non-flammable surface. As you can see in the image about, I worked on my cosplay project over cement. If you use a heat gun on carpet or wood, you will burn it and run the risk of catching it on fire! You don't want to catch your house on fire for working on cosplay. Just don't do it, okay?
