How long is it safe to run this? I'm looking to heat treat some ceramic fiber material that requires ~900C for 4 hours.

We have ran this unit at 1200F around 4-5 hrs with no problems. We've been testing the coating on our flanges with good success at these temps at 4 - 5 hrs each time.

It's 1 time usage, cuz it's a form of liquid metal. It turns solid/hard when pc is off. But I have it for 2 years now on a the cpu and it's still there. I would imagine it would last 5+ years if you don't take off the heatsink or unused in syringe. So I wouldn't recommend taking of the heatsink or reappplying the product.

I'm not sure of an exact amount of time, I've used it for around two hours sometimes more. But if you turn it off between colors or cleaning, I don't think it should get too hot. I do have mine off the carpet though, I would recommend allowing air to flow around it. But overall I haven't burned my hand on it or anything like that. I hope that helps you.

I don't think its recommendable. Just like all other motors this also produce heat and if you let it run for 24 hrs it will kill the motor.

We never ran ours more than 10 to 15 hours a day, when it was warmer and drier and never at night or during the rain. I inserted it in a square frame of wood with the appropriate size hole and inserted it to blow in or draw out, and ran it all last summer. We do not use it in the winter as we close off all the vent openings. I do not know your circumstances for running it, but maybe it would be a different story if the application was "continuous" as opposed to "sporadic". For me: So Far So Good.

I used and never over heat and the time frame depend of the use and the surface to paint, I used for small surfaces in a limit of 1:30 hours and worked very good for me. I don't know if this can help you.

I'm not sure what temperature you'd be using, but I wouldn't recommend it anyway. The product is meant to be a "protector" of fabric being treated and is used for short term heat application. While it may withstand the heat of an oven, I cannot think of a benefit to using it. If anything, it may cause the clay to shape differently.

Hello Maryann: It's extremely important to heat the material as described in the instructions to avoid injury. Once the material is in a liquid state you can probably increase the working time using a torch, but not to initially liquify the material. Hopes this helps !

I have not used it since only using it twice on a foot injury. Takes at least 6 hours to get to operating temperature.

Hmmmmmm.... I wouldn't immediatly after. Maybe give it 5 or so min?!? I am not sure there would be anything heat resistant that would do the same job!

I have had no issues with overheating of this product after fairly extensive usefor up to 3 hours at a time.As with all laminators, it does get hot, but not exceptionally so, ... and when used around children shouldalways be used with close supervision and all flammable materials, like paper, plastics, etc., should neverbe placed on top or near the machine when in use, and always turned off and unplugged when not in use.If the directions are carefully followed and a close watch kept on it's use, especially around children,and immediately shut off and unplugged when done using it,you should have no issues or problems with the unit.It's a nice unit, works well.

I am using a electric ceramic oil burner, takes about 10 drops of oil and lasts a few hours on low.

I use it to hold my hair to my curling iron. It can withstand 375 F for about 30 seconds. I wouldn't use it to solder.

Dear Pamela, Thank you for your interest on our equipment. This kiln is fully suitable for works with glass soften and fusing processes because reaches 1000 C (1832 F), but we do not know this process as well as you and do not have any idea what you will do with this bottle after it will reached a required temperature. This kiln is very compact and is two small to work inside the chamber because it will cool down very quick if door is open. Or you will have enough time to take this bottle out and work with the edge before it will going to be cold? No any idea. sorry:) Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I don't have the can near to hand but ideally you're looking at 70F for 30 minutes to 24 hours for best results. I applied when the weather was roughly 60 nearly 80F during the day during early-mid September, I had a lot of trouble waiting for the coating to cure and if it got moist from the dew at night it took hours more into the next day to 'dry'. I also had trouble mixing the coating to a consistency of a true bedliner, it was much more... textured (lumpy mess) in my case. Lots of lumps no mater how long or well I mixed. I do not believe this was temperature related though.

That's what I use it for and so far it's been fine. The longest I've done is ~2.5 hours at 144 ºF.

The instructions say not to run it for more than 15 min at a time. If you let it sit for 5 min between each use I think you would b fine it is a great system the solution it comes with is not that great. Spend the money and get good solution we bout a gal on amazon for $100 and it is a big difference
