so I bought the greenlee hot blanket for 2"-3" pvc, with the thought that (because of it's longer length) I'd be able to use it on 1/2" and 3/4" pvc to make nicer looking offsets.
but on the pouch it comes in it cautions not to use it on pipe smaller than 2". now I'm scared i'll wreck it.
I have the small hot blanket, but as you know it is very short. if you have to make a big offset, it either turns out butt ugly, or you do a series of offsets, also butt ugly.
my other option is to look into a 120v hot box. we have one, but it's 240v(and draws 28amps). not good when your only power is an extension cord.
where i work the muffler trick wouldn't be kosher.

just wanted to pick brains for a nicer looking big offset.
(I know...it gets buried anyway..just picky I guess)
