Alignment of ropes and polyester with a thermal applicator

[Winter]

There's not much to describe, as it's quite obvious. By using a heated thermal applicator on a stretched rope, the rope is straightened.

Thanks. Did you manage to straighten horses and stirrups? They are my major concern. I am so much frustrated with my polyester stirrups in particular that I am thinking to replace them with blackened copper wire.

Also what is your heater applicator initial purpose? I did not know they existed.

@Y.T. It's perfect for planking I'ts a rhinestone applicator.

Hot-melt rhinestones are decorative elements that imitate precious stones: they can be made of glass, crystal, or acrylic, faceted, and often coated with a metallic layer for added shine. The main difference is that hot-melt rhinestones have a hot-melt adhesive backing. To secure the rhinestone, the adhesive must be melted by heating, allowing it to adhere securely to the surface.

I bought a heat-applicator for bending hull planking strips. It's also used to speed up the adhesion of wood glue when planking the model's hull. It's an especially indispensable tool when assembling boats.

Did you manage to straighten horses and stirrups from your initial yard picture? These are the "walking" ropes and their vertical supports.

No problem, especially since these are stained ropes.

I also corrected the crooked steps of the stairs.

Can I ask what model/make your "heated thermal applicator" (= heat gun?) is. What temperature/setting do you use? I have a large heat gun, but it's too large for doing the kind of stuff you're doing here.

the temperature is not adjustable, they are all about the same, so you'll need a set of attachments.

Thanks for that information. It seems to be a very compact unit, which is good. Looking on Amazon for something similar.

Cannot I use a soldering iron with a dimmer for this purpose?

A soldering iron certainly produces the heat, but it's made to heat solder, etc. by contact. You'd have to get it really close, and a touch to the thread and that line is gone. The suggested mini heat gun produces hot air, which can be diverted and contained by attachments. I just wonder what heat is required. The recommended one from Russia does not state temperature or watts. Those on Amazon have temperatures from 200 degrees Celsius to 500 degrees Celsius. I'm not sure what is required.

Are you asking for permission?

There are several versions of these on amazon..


I have a variable soldering iron, and it gets cool enough that it will not melt polyester.

my soldering iron has a minimum temperature of 180 degrees Celsius. I conducted an experiment, the scheme is working, polyester does not burn. But wouldn't it be easier to buy a thermoapplicator for 6 American rubles?

The temperature of the thermoapplicators varies depending on the model.

Examples of temperatures for different models
About 160-170 °C — for some models, for example, with 7 nozzles.
sima-land.ru
Up to 200 °C is found in a number of thermoapplicators, such as the Micron APL-01.
