NorvelleScout05 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I’m replacing a visor in my scout trooper helmet. Can I use a heat gun or a hair dryer? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Are you talking using heat to bend the replacement visor to better fit the face plate? Or to remove the old visor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorvelleScout05 Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 Yes. I’m using heat to bend the replacement visor to better fit my face plate. I already removed my old visor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 If you're using the welding shield that many of us use, then know that it's pretty heat resistant -- after all, it's for welding! 😁 I didn't have much luck with the hair dryer, so I used a heat gun to help bend mine a bit. Like with all things heat gun related, it does take some finesse to not go too far and melt it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
