You've emerged from the creatures den, with the scars of a victory worthy of knighthood. An educated champion. Bravo
You did not "run away, run away", and you may say "Ni" now if you wish 
.
You may actually like a hotter iron if you found yourself wanting to move faster than the heat did 
. (I even weld hot/fast)
I use a "gun" & heat sinks often, I learned to move fast & "know" when to break heat with few failures really. It also just seems to me to be harder to heat damage things from this era really. And I can think of a few things I was forced to really "cave man it" with that survived to my amazement.
(And I forgot they often bend those into curves, and "twist-flip" is more like it. So just give me a popsicle stick, and point me at door #3, so I can play with the Kitty Kats
)
