Disclaimer: Due to the pandemic and having to work from home due to lock down, I never actually got the chance to use the heat manipulation technique for this unit. So I am using photographs from when I fortunately got to try heat manipulation in my first year of technical college.
Materials
To do heat manipulation, we used a heat gun against a piece of fabric made out of plastic pellets. It is very important that you only apply heat to plastic-base fibers, as any other fibers may be flammable.
We used a pair of scissors to hold the fabric in place so we would not burn ourselves, making sure that no heat touched the plastic handle or it would melt. It is very vital to turn off the heat gun after each use, and to remain cautious that it could still be hot after use. |
