Would this be okay to use inside metal tubing? I want to stop water from collecting/rusting inside a folding chair's metal frame.

Yes I think it would work just fine inside tubing. Don't plan on getting it back out of the tubing as it sticks very tightly and should keep moisture out.

Depending on where you live. I live in Florida where the humidity is high most of the times and the frame is metal, so would probably get rusty, even under cover. If you live in a northern state, I would use it, but keeping it free from rainfall (under a covered porch). Hope this helps you, of course, just my opinion.

I only use a ceramic mugs. The heating element gets pretty hot, so I personally would not use a plastic container. I don't know what the ramifications are of having a metal heating element come in contact with a metal container, but there is the possibility of the metal getting hot and causing the housing to heat up, thus causing damage. I would stick to using a container that does not melt or conduct electricity. I hope my ramblings help. Be safe!

I have used it in my plastic water bottles. I think glass is ok and I do not know about metal.

I believe the trolley is brass, not iron, so it will likely not "rust", but might get some copper/brass corrosion eventually. However, keep in mind that it is meant for plants, and will therefore come in contact with water. If you're planning to use it outside (I assume for the summer), wipe it down with an oily rag and spray the casters and their posts (which can rust!) with some WD-40 before using it... and again at the end of the season when you bring it back indoors. It should last for years with this simple care... I hope this is helpful.

No I haven't tried that but may thought is that the would work. I used this insulated tub for my son's wedding and it was great since there was no condensation on the outer tub. If you put it inside a metal tub I would recommending maybe putting plastic wrap or something else on the outer clear tub so it doesn't get scratched from the metal tub. That way if you used it as just the clear tub it wouldn't look all scratched and clouded.

It was for my Mom. Used in the tub with a telephone shower head. It was GREAT. It did not rust. We had no problems whatsoever. It was the best one and we looked at alot. The sliding seat was wonderful. Good Luck

Well it is metal so I do think if outside it might rust. I guess if humidity is not an issue and you keep relatively dry then okay.

You can use this item to catch and store water. However, you will have to dump out the water frequently if you don't want to risk the iron banding rusting.

I don't think so. The sides of the chair fold down and use both sides of the tube for support. Good for standard tubes but will not work if you cover the top edges of the tub. By the way, these chairs are outstanding. My mother has one at both our house and my brothers house when she visits there. They work perfectly.

Hi, Yes, it should be fine. Tube says "Weather and water proof" I love it and use it for a sure hold on all kinds of things...even glued a metal soap dish on bathroom tile so as not to have to drill holes thru tile! Still holding 8 yrs. later.

Anytime! Hope that was helpful. Also, I used thompsons water sealer on it to help protect it more from the elements. Contacted manufacturer n they said that was fine.

I only bought mine for indoor use. I do believe it would rust quickly, unless you use it in a gazebo so the elements don't get at it too quickly.

It's got quite a few metal parts that are exposed. Those probably wouldn't rust if you dried them really well but I don't know if you'd be able to. I probably wouldn't try it.

I use this inside only. However, if I were to use it outside, I would use it to hang up the clothes to dry and then brig it in when finished. Exposure to the elements would most likely damage the finish and then rust or degradation may occur. It is sturdier than others that are made of plastic.

I will say no. I have purchased four of these (they are all still working and in-service) and I know what the inside looks like. It is an open rheostat design. Meaning, nothing is covered or encapsulated, insulated. You see the holes on the side? They allow direct access to the wiring and circuitry. Also, the metal is just a standard tin / light steel design. Water will work against this and eventual cause corrosion and rust.

Hi. I've used this at outdoor plays and at the beach. I have never submerged it in water as the interior frame is metal or aluminum, but I've gotten it wet and spilled soda on it with no problems hosing it off. I just make sure to dry it out right after rinsing so the metal won't rust.
