Old timer taught me a trick with a heat gun I still use today

Back in like 2012 I was helping this guy named Rico on a job in a old church basement in Detroit. He stopped me from cutting a wrinkled seam and just hit it with his heat gun for maybe 30 seconds. Said you gotta sweat the backing before you even think about trimming. I still do that on every single stretch job and it saves my bacon all the time. Anyone else pick up weird tricks from a grouchy old installer?

Wait hold up a full gospel choir just standing there silent? That's legit creepy man, like something out of a horror movie. Did your buddy ever figure out what they were doing?

Wait, you were in a church BASEMENT in DETROIT in 2012 and that was the weirdest part?

Honestly I had a buddy who swears he saw a full drum kit set up in a church basement in Flint around that same time and the weirdest part was there was like a full gospel choir just standing there silent. No singing, no playing, just staring at the drums.
