Is this hot enough that if I used it on an asphalt or blacktop driveway (to melt snow & ice), it would damage the driveway?

Yes, if you leave it it one place for too long...it could leave a scorch mark.

No, It doesn't get that hot, at least not to burn on the front if you touch it. It will get warm. The outside doesn't get hot.

It wont get too hot, but hot enough to burn anything. This is a very safe and reliable product,and will keep your hands warm through any situation

I doubt the material itself would melt, but it will leave behind a lot of the adhesive if you try to remove it.I used it in certain spots of the interior of my new car on a roadtrip with my dog. it was at most 70 degrees in the car the whole time and after 3 days it left a fair amount of adhesive anywhere that had been warmed more than ambient temp (like the leather armrest under my elbow and seat the dog was on)

I would think so. If the driveway asphalt or rough concrete you should be fine.

Hello,this stuff is Flammable as is all foam products.If the heat from the radiator is very low to the place where you are using this foam,it should be alright.As you know after this dries you can cut excess off with a razor (Careful),sand if needed and then painted.Personally,I do not think that the heat will be hot enough to ignite this foam,Especially if it is blocked by the baseboard.

I would not recommend it. If it didnt over heat it would be severely underpowered!

I do not know exactly how hot it gets. It is never hot to the touch. The pipes freeze up when it gets below 20 degrees F. My other heat tape(s) work fine. I purchased this because I had a long run (95 feet), so it was much less expensive than buying several shorter runs, but I may end up replacing it. I am waiting to see if this winter goes any better than last year.

NO!! It will only get between 45-50 degrees. Just hot enought for it to melt ice. Sorry!

It works just fine on asphalt, as long as it's smooth. If there are many cracks or irregularities, then it would probably struggle. But anything that's nice and even, it should be able to handle.

It does get a little warm but I would have to say not warm enough to melt the snow. Hope this helps!

uhh im not so sure you should be burning asphalt, but i really dont know i just use this torch to flux with glass.

Yes. I used it on the edge of the concrete garage, where it meets the blacktop driveway. Of course, you will be putting black material on a concrete colored driveway so it's going to stand out versus blending in on blacktop.

I do not keep anything that might melt on top of it. It does get quit warm to the touch but not so hot that it could possibly causes your skin to burn.

No - very intense and concentrated flame. I use it only on my gravel driveway and gravel landscaping. I have some mulched areas but would not dare to use it there. Guaranteed fire from such an intense heat.

If heat and/or safety is of concern, I would definitely look elsewhere. The exterior frame, especially the front door glass of this oven gets exceptionally hot and could cause burns. (both my wife and I have been burned). Children should not be allowed to operate this oven or even come close to it when it is running.

I would think something would have to be heated to the extreme before it could cause damage like melting. I have hot coffee on mine everyday and have no problems.
