Eric...I never said use it until the rubber (now probably replaced with
vinyl) melts! Anytime you use this tool you have to be cautious of how much
heat and where you apply it. Even where you can't destroy the materials (eg
undercoat on metal) you can still heat so hot that the undercoat catches
fire! Please don't attribute to me something I didn't say...I merely
described a tool that can be used and also has many other uses. Almost
anything this tool can be used for, it can also be abused for.
