Don`t scratch anything with the metal housing on nano!

the heat is from the motor (handle), i wasnt aware of any real heat generating parts at the head. just gears and shafts and bearings.

Also i dont think this is a tool you will be running over 6-10 minutes at a time.. if you are a bigger tool would probably get the job done quicker thats what i think anyway.

Any insulation will increase heat retention, so if that is a major concern (I don`t think it should be), then don`t wrap or coat the Nano. The gears should handle a small increase in temperature just fine, as should the grease/lubricant. I honestly don`t see the wrap causing a problem.

Interesting thoughts...

I recently did a vehicle that felt like I did the majority of the vehicle with just the iBrid long neck nano.
So much so that rather than using the batteries I used the A/C adapter (a/c is recommended by Rupes)
There were LOTS of small areas, tiny curves, long curves, spoiler, under the spoiler, deck sides etc.
Yes, there were times when the handle did get a little warm and I was a a bit surprised at that?

For those of you that have run the iBrid without the shroud via rotary...I`ve done it close up in DA mode.
BTW - It can be pretty scary with that flying around near the paint. Yes, I am looking forward to the tape!
Thank you Raymoche for the excellent idea!

@Merlin ...i would use the nano for the majority of that car too.... i was thinking more normally shaped cars...
