I like this but I recommend getting a heat gun instead of a hair dryer. Much faster.

If you're looking for cheap and relatively easy not to mention kinda fun, look into propane torches for sealing driveways.

If it's below freezing, doesn't that just get you ice when the water freezes again?

Now I wonder if you can get a leafblower that blows hot air out like a heat gun

Or you could use a flamethrower

  • 2 x 130 sq ft. waterproof fabric: $300
  • 1k ft. resistive wire (enough for one wire every 4 cm): $270 (approximate, I have no idea what gauge and resistivity you would need)

Honestly the amazon listing is not as bad of a deal as I was expecting. You could probably make it a lot cheaper but it would take forever and probably be significantly lower quality.
