At what temperature will it melt? Will it loose it's grip if the house gets to be 100 degrees?

I never tested it under those conditions, but in my opinion, I wouldn't use it on anything very valuable. I just don't think it holds that we'll.

I would think that it would. It is wax. Might have to check with MFG on that one. Sorry for delay in answering.

I don't know about 100 degrees as that has not happened to me but did have it out on a grave in very cold weather in VA and it did fine.

Hi Sally,I am on a boat and used Quakehold a lot to hold small stuff down while cruising.I have an even temperature but I would think at a high temp. of 100 it would melt down.As I said it has been invaluable to me. I did try to use it on pictures on the wall but this wouldn't hold it needs to be on a table or such like not on a wall. I do use it to stop pics from sliding keeping them in place but after an amount of time we decided just to screw the pics to the wall, saved a lot of hassle.I hope this helps in your project. Glad I could be of help.Regards, Jean Hi Sally,I am on a boat and used Quakehold a lot to hold small stuff down while cruising.I have an even temperature but I would think at a high temp. of 100 it would melt down.As I said it has been invaluable to me.

No, it won't melt. It did not melt in the Florida sun BUT ... it became just too sticky to keep. I tried washing it, putting talc on it, oiling it, etc ... after 1 1/2 yrs I threw it away. But if you can figure out how to overcome the stickiness, it's a great cell phone caddy.

I don't think it would melt if left in the oven, however it would also be 400 degrees.. Totally defeating the point of its purpose. It works great for cook-top use. you can leave it on the entire time. As long as its not on a very small pan, where the handle is over the burner, then it will get too hot to handle. The handle will not burn or melt with reasonable use, but it will get very hot if exposed to the burner or left in the oven. Just common sense.

I have used warm water regularly in the bottle and it's fine. I am not sure if temperature as high as 100 degree centigrade could be withstood.

No, the product will not melt but will become a little more tacky. I have had mine for a few months now and noticed that with the change in temp. (summer to winter or from around 90f to 20f) the Sticky will become a little more brittle and a little less tacky. It seems also to pick up every bit of dust in the air, because of the tacky nature of the plastic it is made of. Still works well and holds items but a little less tacky than first purchased. Have had item a few months now. Its not expensive so I would say give it a try.

I can't give you an exact temperature but I can tell you that skin temp is enough to melt it. Somewhere between 72 and 98 degrees F

Trick question. If it is sitting on table at a room temperature of 70 deg F. Then around 85-90 Deg F. If it is inside a quilt blanket where much less heat is lost, then it gets quite warm to the touch (approx 120 Deg F). Again with a theoretical no heat loss, then temperature would continue to rise.

No. It require's boiling temps to really melt. I still wouldn't recommend leaving it in such a hot place, but from my experience with hot temps like that, it doesn't melt.

At first it will be a little "tacky" but once you melt and brush and let it set, it's fine. Maybe on extreme heat, like a hot radiator , there might be a little melt

The housing does not get very hot--it's infrared. Mine is mounted on the exterior of our house which is cedar shakes. No issues.

I wouldn't recommend it without buying a long metal thermocouple extender. The flexible ones that come with it have a coating around them that melts at between 120-150 C (so maybe 250-300 F). Found this out the hard way when something smelled like it started burning.

I use this in a gun safe at about 70 deg. But I tested it from about +30 to about +100 degrees and it was right on. Maybe someone can help more.

I guess any temp. if you take off the rubber handle. It just slides right off.

I am not sure but i know the heat can be quite high inside. I have measured it at over 145 degrees in different places. It was high enough to melt a medicine bottle one time and melt the glue on the sole of and old pair of shoes another time. So my guess is it could melt the thin plastic protective cover.

This is a question for the manufacture, I would think in a convention oven it might melt.
648225
Absolute not. It will shatter over direct heat of any type, gas or electric.
1139276
yes. but it is thick and very durable under normal usage. of course, it would melt. as plastic, it does not damage what it is gripping
