This tool was originally intended to be a soldering iron, but has been modified exclusively for us at the factory to produce a lower temperature range. This soldering iron had an original temperature range beginning at 200C, whereas this modified version has a range of approximately 100-220C. This tool is useful for sealing your first paint layer to the leather, and smoothing out issues in your acrylic edges after they have dried. This tool comes with a round / pointed tip, which works well for smoothing edges. Other tips specifically for this application are also available on eBay.
Note: The temperature dial on this iron is the original dial, and because of the modification, it no longer represents the actual operating temperature.
