Hey

My girlfriends arches are really grey and i have a heat gun. How exactly do you use it to make the arches black again?

Is it a case of using the gun and keeping the arch wet?

Making it wet wont help.
Keep the gun moving and feel how warm it gets.
Dont for get the arches just get to past recoveryer.
