Heat Gun Ideas

I bought this clock a YEAR ago as a Christmas present. Little did I know that it didn’t work. I seriously can’t believe I paid so much for it. But I should tell you that when I got it out this year to fix, I didn’t remember that it didn’t work. I thought the only problem was an issue with the glass being improperly secured with hot glue. Fast forward a year, and I decided to see about fixing the glass  so that I can give it as a Christmas present this year. Apparently the glass had come lose, and someone decided to use hot glue. Not that hot glue is the wrong thing to use, but you can clearly see the glass is totally crooked. I removed the back of the clock (still unaware that the clock doesn’t actually WORK)  You can see the original brown looking glue that secured the glass in addition to the globs of hot glue. I used my HomeRight Digital Temperature Heat Gun at 250° which easily loosened all of the hot glue and made the original glue pop right off. While I had the heat gun out, I set it to about 160° to oh so easily remove the price sticker. Can you see all the glue I removed? If I were keeping this for me, I may have painted it at this point, but I simply cleaned the glass with warm sudsy water and replaced it. I used hot glue, but in smaller doses and I secured the glass properly, not crooked. Then I was on the hunt for a new clock works. I searched on Amazon and could find what I needed, so I went to my stash. I still had a vinyl lp clock in my closet that never sold. I took it apart and tested to see if the clock movement would work in the refurbished Jack Daniels clock. It was a good fit, but the wrong color. Even though it was really cold outside, I brought the spray paint in to warm up. After the can became room temperature, I put the hands in this small box and quickly ran outside to spray a quick coat. Bringing it all inside for a few minutes, I took it all outside to get a nice second coat. Now it’s all back together, and ready to be wrapped and put under the tree (when I get the tree up)     Now for the giveaway!
