Solder Gun vs Hot Knife

ARoss...

You are correct there are alternatives... I have and use a soldering gun w/ a flat blade tip...

IMHO they are not equal but can be a reasonable compromise for small projects.

Solder gun works well for heat sealing the ends of binding, creating zipper stops, etc but is fairly slow for large scale fabric cutting compared to a hot knife...
