ll,
Open all of the windows in your work shop. Take an electric leaf blower and blow all of the dust out of the room, off the walls, ceilings, floors and out of all of the toolls including the heat gun.

With no dust in the room, and no dust in the heat gun, you should not get any dust from the gun as you use it for your rod building.

When working continuously, I always blow all of the dust out of the room at least once a week.

Note:
I do not do any Dust creating work in the work shop that I use for rod building and wrapping. All of the dust creating work, sanding, chopping etc. is always done in a different building. Then, all of the work going out of that building is blown off with high pressure air, before moving into the wrapping shop, so I minimize the amount of dust brought into the shop as well.

Never really had any issue with dust coming from the heat gun onto my work.

Good luck

got what I needed from a different FORUM , thanks for all the input

well if that is the situation then what you can try is to hit the hardware store and pick up some xylene or toluene and put in a spray bottle and mix up some epoxy and give it a try and see if that works as they both have a high evaporation rate

did a short search and what I found is that it is methanol alcohol based with other ingredients
[www.chemfast.com]

I would try an automotive paint store near you as they handle all the glass and epoxies for repairing fiberglass body panels or there is the marine boat repair shops they probably handle it.

Think out side the box when all else fails !!!

Gently blowing air across the epoxy with a straw works well without the risk of damaging the epoxy or stirring up dust. Regardless of whether one does dust-generating work in his wrapping room, there is some dust. Occasional vacuuming helps. Leaf blower? I don't think so, but I'll ask my wife.

Just curious Bill, the bubble buster Utmost carries is a plastic bottle, wick and some marbles. They ship them all over the place. It's just an empty bottle. You can't get that shipped to Alaska??

I did not try "" Utmost "" , I do most of my ordering from Mudhole , an they said last time, I ordered, I was told can't ship to Alaska , The carrier would not take it ,so here I am ,
but some people here an from a different FOURM gave me what I needed to mix some up , don't need much but when you need it you need it , don't build much anymore
just family an friends now ,

THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP

The Bubble Buster we carried at Mud Hole Custom Tackle was a liquid that you could spray on thread finish to bust the bubbles, not the plastic bottle with a wick, that you use for flaming and heating finish. Two different products.

The plastic bottle with marbles is meant to be filled with alcohol, squeeze the bottle with the wick lit, and a miniature "blowtorch" is formed.

The alcohol torch used by dental or jewelery shops work just as well.

Thanks for all the help I am not a fan of the DNA torch for bubble busting an most all the bubble busters that I have looked into from the jobbers on the left will not send it to Alaska
air carrier's will not handle it on a plane , so I have to make it , up here, the builders on this forum have given me a lot of ideas I will have to try some out to see what one works best for me , m THANKS FOR ALL THE HELP

Bill, I tried to get some from Mudhole when I was there about a year ago. They said that they no longer carry it because of the shipping issues . I would like to see if I could make some up for myself, could you send me the information you found or the forum where you found the information. bobhummel@aol.com Thanks I would really appreciate the help.

Just use an air popper for a heat source. Does a decent job for making crank stencils too! frees up both hands, I use a HF pedal switch to control. Usually though I must admit I just wave a bic lighter a few inches below the wraps to smooth out and release bubbles.

Thanks Charlie, I will see if I can figure how to do it , an try it , I did find out the heavy -er the epoxy is [ stiffer ] the harder it is to get some bubbles out ,
[ for me ] I think it is the surface tension on the epoxy or some thing like that ,

There was a thread on one of the SoCal boards that suggested a perfume atomiser and acetone. The very light mist is what did the trick. Only works if you can acetone up there!! Why not use a finish mixer and eliminate the bubbles all together?

we get all the chemicals [ big box hardware stores , an car paint shops ] , thanks for the input , have to try some of the ideas out , I don't get many bubbles
but when I do get one , it is stubborn
