Does anyone know what the exact heat range is? I would like to try this on Tarp material.

I am not sure what the heat range is but it gets very hot. I use it to seal mylar bags. If I leave it on to long it will melt it. So my best guess is that it will probably be sufficient for other uses as well. It's a great product I do like it.

I have not used it in an application where heat is an issue, so I can't honestly tell u. Sorry! By the looks of the other responses, it to hold up to a lot of heat!

The material is of high quality and extremely water and wind replant. It stays lightweight even in downpours. Heavy duty and much lighter the oil cloth but keep fire away. Many tie-outs so sagging is not an issue if used correctly. Bombproof shelter for wet, warm or cool temps. However for temps cold enough to require a ground fire, canvas would out perform. This tarp is perfect for extended lightweight scouting or backpacking and wind /water will not penetrate the material.

Hi, This is a tarp with a reflective coating on one side. I don't know how the coating is applied, or if it is a layered sheet adhered to tarp. It is a multiple use blanket, and I just used one camping last Fri., and it it worked well and took off the chill in the early morning. I bought several and I am going to add some more grommets to a couple of them. I also used one Sat morning about pre dawn to get some extra sleep in the car, blocked out the sunrise and retained the body heat. Temps were in the mid 50's and they worked very well.

I would not suggest leaving it out for more than a few days. any tarp larger than 8'x8' would cover it though. I just use a nylon blanket

That would probably work. The more insulation the better. I would use some kind of reflective like it type material for maximum heat. Good luck.

We only used it in our brick/stone weep holes so I am not sure of the heat it can take.

Hello John,This is a heavy tarp; not appropriate for backpacking. I could see using it camping out of a car or truck. It is meant for outdoor use. It has a bit of an odor, that waterproofed canvas smell. It's a quality, heavy weight tarp. I play ice hockey and shoot into it for practice. It will take a fair bit of abuse. Good luck,Gary Schoepfel

Doesn't make a difference, I used foam mostly and fiberglass insulation in other places.. The heat tape can be wraped around itself and it will not burn thru. Any type of insulation works. I prefer foam.

good question mate......I'll put a heat gun on a bit today and get back to you...other than that google up polyurethane properties perhaps....Bob...

Yeh works great had mine out all last summer. Doesn't get as hot here. There are grommets underneath to attach a bungee cord to. Quite happy.

I can't answer this. I tried to patch a gazebo tarp with this canvas. It last for about 6 months but the tarp was not of good enough to fix. It was all worn out. It may be good for a boat but I am not sure.

It is more like a tarp so far it has worked really nice with no problems. We have had it all summer. Hope this helps

We have had this tarp for a little over a year and it has done well so far. It is not uncommon, in our area, for the summer temperatures to reach beyond 100 degrees F for several days in a row. So far, so good - good luck.

depends on how cold tolerant you are - i would not try to use it if i thought it would be very cold- i used the thing in mid summer in the desert and it worked well for that and I pulled a tarp over me in the rain but your question would make me think you will want something better - this thing is a blanket - not a sleeping bag and the edges of it are loose like a blanket and do not join like a bag

This kit has variable heat which goes from low to extreme (1-10). I use it on gourds and at times wood and at a 7 and 8 it will burncompletely through the gourd if the tip is held in place too long. I hope this helps in letting you know what it can do to fabric.
