does it melt if the slide/barrel gets hot? I'm worried it will melt and ruin the finish.

No. It is an excellent product. Stays on but can be removed if you wish.I have a bad rt. thumb and on the rear side of the slide (.45) I can grip with out a problem. I have used it on ft. trigger guard,grip area and covered knife handles .buy a lot.I keep finding new uses for it every day. Great stuff,...... I have bought at least 18 sheets, still have several but will never be without it.

I've only shot about a box of shells (50) through it at one time but I had absolutely no problems. It help your grip a lot!

This kettle has a copper bottom/insert, and I suspect you could melt it IF you let the kettle boil dry. I actually did that to an aluminum tea kettle once. But IMO it would never happen under normal use -- the boiling water keeps it cool enough to ever allow that to happen.

You can on low heat settings and don't leave it on there. Otherwise you'll melt it.

I've dropped melted solder on it and there were no problems. I'd think if you touched the hot soldering iron to it briefly there might be a little burn or melted spot.

No. The "slide" is decorative only. It does not move. The trigger is double action. The first part of the stroke "cocks" the mechanism.

Yes, it melts beautifully. Just do a little at the time, stir to soften. This is well worth the money, makes great candy and awesome apples!

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.

Kirsten, I use this spatula for pancakes and eggs just about every day and it has not shown any sign of melting. However, I have not used it with real high heat. Hope this helps you some. I really do like it, as does my wife! John

Haven't ever used it for that, but I don't see how it could be a problem. It is graphite based, so unless the interferes with the material that the gun slide is made out of I would certainly doubt there would be any harm.

I have not as of yet experienced any discoloring on my weapon, However this is only meant to be applied to the barreland not the slide or frame.

Id say NO, but I haven't tried to melt it that way. I think it needs a slow melt down. But contact the seller, he will answer all your quastions

I never had the problem of the top melting. Due to my own fault, my last one cracked, even on the metal diffuser. I got distracted and let it boil dry. Of course, it cracked. I love this model. Same glass as the more expensive ones. I bought a replacement. Much prefer boiling water in glass than metal.

Only the top part of the slide is against my skin and yes it does get moisture at times. I just wipe it down, have not seen any signs of corrosion at all.

I haven't and the bottle says "Keep away from heat and flame. If contact with skin, wash thoroughly with soap and water". So I wouldn't suggest using it on a gun. I was told a LONG time ago that gun oil is to be used on guns. I do use a dab of gun grease on the slide runners only. I generally use dri-slide on my Dillon RL550B reloading press, on the slide for loading the primers. That action tends to get a little gummed up with the powder dust that comes out when the old primer is pushed out. If I keep that lubed with dri-slide, it doesn't attract the dust like oil would.

It eventually hardens....If using on cake pops to decorate, use just enough to place and hold the product...if you use to much it will slide

o the blade gets hot, melting the plexiglass which is plastic, this may ruin the piece and gum up the teeth

I've had issue with it getting hot enough. I just got some other tips to try to see if they will work better. I know a soldering gun does get hotter.
