Thank you for the advice! I saw that some of the heat guns come with a stand, so I'll definitely invest in one.

My boyfriend makes leather masks. I am thinking about getting him a heat gun for his birthday, but I'm a little worried about the safety of using these devices indoors. He has a wooden work bench which is near a wall. I know these things can burn wood and melt paint. I'm having trouble finding safety info, however, because everyone assumes the heat gun is going to be used to strip paint or mold plastic. Would it work to lay down a piece of granite on the bench and create a granite "back splash" to protect the wall? I know he doesn't need to turn the thing too hot to harden leather, but I don't want anything damaged, either. Anything else to know about heat guns and leather working before I buy this thing? Sorry for the "newbie" question, but I obviously can't ask him and then try to surprise him with the present later. Thank you!!
