Can you leave these in the car at all times without it melting? I'm looking to leave a set in the car for impulse painting

I have left it in the car the longest one very hot (28 degree celcious)day and nothing melted. Longer than that, i do not know. Hope this helps

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)

No, they don't melt, you're safe. I put them into my coffee right as the coffee comes out of the machine so it'll be drinking-temperature when the cup is done brewing. Really nice stuff!

These are particulate ONLY so as long as you're not creating vapors from a heat gun on the lead paint, I would think they would be OK. I would use it if I were just scraping or sanding but to be more safe and comply with OSHA, you'd likely have to use one of the VAPOR cartridges.

Hello, These will not melt too bad because they are just chocolate coated. At worst, some of the pieces may stick together. Amazon actually stops shipping chocolate items May 1st just for that reason, so there is only a couple of weeks left to order my items from the Amazon warehouse. After that, you will have to order from individuals shipping the item themselves. Thank you for your interest. Calli Books

If you do, I'd recommend putting them in an additional vacum type sealable bag.There have been reviewers who have had problems with the seal of their packages over long term.I would keep them in an emergency kit or part of my work pack that I take in and out of the car each time as the house is a much more controlled atmosphere - but that's just my preference.

Yes...I believe people bake items in oven to make this paint permanent. I am unsure of temp./time, but if no one answers with that info, try Googling. I know that I found that info accidentally when I Googled this set for more information/reviews prior to my purchase...I just don't recall the details!

I have not done it, but the instructions say you can. No melting parts. I love this pan more every time I use it!

I only used them inside the house. They feel like they are made of real wax, so, if you live in a very area, they could melt.

Good question. Try the route from the previous respondent, but I would guess that it is more a buyer beware. Tho, I have ordered 4 total, and only one out of the 4 died earlier than a year. Don't leave them in the car for long periods of time with extreme temps, at least that is what I have done differently, and it seems to help preserve its life.

NOTE!! I used these to make crayons, and at first they came out fine, but then I left one batch in the oven a little longer by mistake. A few of the minifig molds came apart when I popped the crayons out, and then after making a couple more batches with the ones that were still intact, all of them ripped apart. If you make crayons, I would recommend melting them in the oven in a separate container (I saw a tin can as a suggestion) and then pouring the melted wax into the molds to cool. This should preserve your mold. I was pretty bummed that my mold was ruined before I finished making everything I needed for my son's birthday party. :-( NOTE!!

Sorry question went to an old email address. Very nice quality. I only use the covers for winter. They've held up great. I do not think they would stick/melt.

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 use them outside a lot, but only for a couple days at a time. They get quite hot and are not designed to be used outside for extended periods. Keep a close eye on them and don't let them come into contact with anything that melts or might catch fire. Good luck.

Trust me, I live in Nevada. If they last here. they will last in florida ! Our summers here are insanely Hot ! They will last inside your car just fine.

Good question, I haven't tested them in those conditions yet. However, because they are sealed foil pouches I would think they would do better than plastic bottles under those conditions. Heat is no friend to any perishable in car temperatures, but I would expect these would be better than nothing to have in your trunk JIC.

They paint up very nicely, however I don't have experience with the heat possibly changing paint color over long periods of time. Also allow 1-2 days of them being on for the paint fumes to go away. Otherwise they're already primed and everything! :) Latex worked fine for me.
