No, it does not. It's a very firm FOAM. But my laptop, while it gets hot, never gets hot enough to melt any plastic - so I can't say for sure....

No, but it also doesn't really hold the computer on it very well. I have been trying to use it, but it becomes a bit difficult and unruly.

This product eventually will not hold the laptop up. I got tired of it and ordered the Cooler Master Comforter laptop lap desk with pillow cushion. I LOVE it! Worth every penny I spent on it. I tried going the cheapest at first. Then I decided pay the money and get what you pay for. The desktop you are talking about is like Styrofoam! This desktop I have is made for use on a table, desk or even in bed which I don't use it there. Or you can turn it over and use it as a writing table. The item # is C-HS02-KA. Look it up and make your own choice.

No melting or stickiness ever!Both of mine are years old and no deterioration. Only slight flexibility for your lap comfort. My laptops are heavy and no the foam has not change or collapsed. It is amazing and I love it! Wish they had bigger ones! Would be good on a desk for ventilation

No it won't it is made of rubber. For the price it will help any over heating problems you might have with your laptop. I was very surprised. Your laptop probably won't even get too hot with extended use, mine really doesn't anymore using this.

It is not sticky. It's hard silicon. It will not feel smooth like glass; then again, it is not a factor to its operation. 4 months on and we love them; a few on dimmers. Over 80% of the home is LEDs now.

I know there is a lot of talk about certain materials affecting the finish of your instrument and I'm not sure if this stand has the kind of material that is said to be questionable but I can tell you that I have had one of my guitars sitting in this stand continuously for probably almost a year and it has had no damaging effect on the finish, despite the fact that I rarely put it back in its case, so it is always in the stand.

I have no idea what temperature this plastic melts at, but all I can say is that I poured hot oils that I had mixed to make a lip balm straight from the pan off the stove into the tubes without problem. The oil began to cool and solidify almost immediately and the plastic did NOT melt.

Hey their, actually yes it will suddenly get sticky but Not melt! I would recommend to take a ZipLock bag and keep it their for the rest of your trip! Safe travels !!

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 table seems to have been applied with a "protective agent" similar to a varnish. It comes with a list of "dos/donts" to maintain it from scratches. My main problem with it is the weak connection between the table and the stand. It has toppled over several times! I just don't know what to do to make it stable and secure.

I haven't tried hot glue yet, but Aleene's Tacky Glue works great if you're making refrigerator magnets with them. I made a calendar for my fridge with bottle caps and the tacky glue is great for that purpose. Super glue will also work, but just be careful you don't glue yourself to the magnets. Lol Hope that was helpful. :) Hot glue probably won't hold very well.

This one is definitely not melted but glued. The speed down button is faulty when I received mine, maybe during shipment.

I am not sure! If it is on a surface that WILL become hot, I believe the adhesive and or foam could be destroyed (in my humble opinion)

Yes. It will stick to metal if the surface is roughened. However, it was more intended for wood, where the glue will impregnate into the wood. T88 will not stand up to excessive heat because it will soften as it heats up (130F and up).

My proofer never gets that hot. I do agree with others that your unit is defective. I have mine, (when in use) on a roll around "school" cart. No problems with over heating that kind of composite plastic. I also have used it on tile table top. Of course it would not hurt that at all.

for future reference use a magnet, magnets don't stick to alum. or chrome "Plated" haha, plastic.

It makes a great work space but I would not put anything hot on it. It is plastic. It would be great if it were glass or stone.

Hi David No heat does not bother it at all. The only problem that I had was that it slips around and will not stay centered. I ended up glueing it with a clear glue. It's great now

It is sticky when applied to glass---It does not have an adhesive on it, but the plastic definitely stays on the glass when you apply the design. It does peel off if you happen to miss-place it on the glass. Mine has been up since January and looks just like it did when applied.

The frame does get hot but not enough that it would melt the plastic table I was using it on.
