    I use powder paint and fingernail polish. Both work well.

    Used iPad and it turns pictures upside down every time. I just used a board and some 2x4 blocks to keep from knocking it over and keeps it steady, lets intake air come in bottom ok. On low and 1/8 head I give it a slow count to 8-10 then dip. You might have to waste a couple of heads to get timing right but I like it a lot better than other heat sources.

    Personally I do not like the heat gun way, but I do like using an alcohol burner because it's fast, cheap and clean! I don't care for all the noise from the heat gun and I don't like it bulky build. My alcohol burner has been doing me well for about 12 years now and it's quite and doesn't get in the way and I don't have to hold it to use it, lol!
