Additional Details
The Flint 2000EX is specially designed for installing preformed thermoplastic pavement markings and adhesives. It can also be used for removal of paint, drying loop detector grooves, removal of cold plastic and temporary tape, shrinking plastic for wrapping, drying road surfaces and for melting snow or ice.
The Flint 2000EX measures 37in overall including the 24in extension. The fan-shaped nozzle ensures even heating when applying preformed thermoplastic in any season, but especially in windy, wet spring months. The swivel hose connector prevents kinks and twisting. The Flint 2000EX consumes only 8lbs of propane per hour of continuous use.
Using the Flint 2000EX to apply the material will reduce the likelihood that the surface glass beads will sink too much when heating the preformed thermoplastic. Other heat guns may put out so much concentrated heat in one spot that it is virtually impossible to control the embedment of the surface glass beads which can result in lower initial retroreflectivity.
