MOTM

Paul,  I have done this and can tell you that the hair dryer just does not
get hot enough to do the job well.  I finally broke down and bought a heat
gun.  Prior to that I just held my soldering iron close (careful not to
touch).  But, I can tell you a heat gun will be a GREAT investment around
the house.  I use mine 90% for non-electronic stuff.  2 weeks ago it was
heating the adhesive so I could get old vinyl floor up.  In the summer it
was relaxing that black edging stuff that came from the store in a roll and
didn't want to lay straight.  I too tried to avoid buying one.  But, now
that I have one, I wished I hadn't waited so long.

Thanks my $.02

Subject: [motm] first module


I just received and built my first MOTM module, the 110 VCA/RM. Building
went without a hitch (aside from my kids getting away with a couple of
resistors when I wasn't looking), and it seems to work fine so far.

Is there any reason not to use an ordinary hair dryer if a proper heat
gun isn't available?

Thanks Paul,
