U never ever use a heat gun, 1. u dont need it, 2. it alters the properties in the product and will almost always try and peel back off the floor.
If ur good enough u wont use 1.
the last time i looked the courses were 450 plus vat each
they run for 3 consecutive days from 9am to 5pm with 3 breaks
:yikes:
