THe temp setting was 1400 on low fan.
To get a scale pattern try this
first heat with the gun until tacky. Then lay a piece of mesh over it and stick it down by rolling a dowel or paint brush handle over it.
Then dust and peel off the mesh.
Heat with gun until surface goes from satin to a shiny sheen.
You can also dust it first , soften with heat, then lay the mesh on it. Wait a few moments, then peel off the mesh and a scale pattern will remain.
