How to use a heat gun on resin. Use a heat gun on the fiberglass. A hair dryer or heat gun doesnt get hot enough to remove bubbles efficiently and can blow dust all over your wet resin. Simply let the bottles of resin stand in a container of warm water for about 5 or 10 minutes before you use them.
