I have a slate roof and heat cable in the gutter. Will the sponges melt?

I doubt if heat cable would get hot enough to melt them, check with both manufactures just to be safe.

You can any heat to melt plastics...that said be aware that you are causing toxic fumes to be emitted when you do it. If the sheeting is to thin it will likely wither away when heated up, but if thicker, yu could fuse it. Do it outside and consider a mask t protect from vapors.

It will melt if it gets warm. I put mine in the refrigerator when that happens. Otherwise no.

Yes, as long as you are able to get the product up under the planks past where the water starts to drip into the gutter. If the planks are nailed to the edge of the roof then no, it won't work.

I have stainless steel pots and have used the steamer twice. No problems at all!! This should not happen when these silicone items can take hundreds of degrees of heat. I am very puzzled about this one!

Not sure, sorry. It may actually melt the asphalt, so I'd put some down on a remote spot to see if it will be ok.

Good question. I guess this depends on how the metal roof is fastened where the gutter meets it. I would suggest contacting scott at LeafsOut. his email is scott@leafsout.com . He was very helpful when I made my purchased and answered all of my questions.

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.

I have had mine installed for more than a year, maybe two and I have had know issues. I have not gone back and read the reviews that you may be referring two, but if wired correctly it should not melt.

go to this WEB site: http://www.emersonindustrial.com/en-US/documentcenter/EGSElectricalGroup/products_documents/heating_cables/residential_heating_cables/residential_roof_gutter_de_icing/adks_roof_de_icing_kit_roof_sentry_de_icing_controls/40400_001_r6_ADKS_broch_web.pdf little complicated but it works. we did 8 sections on a church roof and teh calculator worked well and the product melte the snow as advertised

I don't think they will. They are pretty sturdy. Mine are inside and it hasn't been hot enough here ( in NY) yet to melt them (they are not in air conditioning).

I use these hest cables but I have them connected to a thermostat so it doesnt get too hot and melt the plastic

No, they work great with the stone covers on. They won't melt either because of the heat. Great product!

I wouldn't. The heat is localized and unless you have a reostat, you cannot control the temperature, which could lead to melting.

research all the chemicals used in the roofing materials and then how many are affected by boiling. California will not allow roof water to be used for anything..I think.

I'm not sure, but I wouldn't try it. They are just plastic. I think they would melt. But they do a great job when used as intended. Good luck.

No, the hair will start to melt. I strongly suggest not to use any heat on the hair.
