[HBQRP] SMT heat gun deal!

[Joe Eisenberg]

Arnie and HBQRP:
Here is the link to the Hobby Lobby Item.
http://www.craftsetc.com/Store/ShowProduct.aspx?c=23&p=506345
Note that it is often on sale for 50% off and also they put "40% OFF any one 
item" coupons in the newspapers or on their web site.
http://www.hobbylobby.com/site3/weekly/weekly.cfm  That is the link to their 
weekly online coupons.  Check your newspaper on Sunday and Wednesday for 
their ad.
My wife (NØFUF) works there, so that is how I know about this one.
73, Joe KØNEB
