Can you mold these to shape with heat? How much heat can they tolerate? Are they fire retardent?

I'm not sure why you'd want to mold these to shape with heat, I certainly wouldn't try. You see all those lines in the picture? Those are grooves in the knee pad that allow it to flex pretty readily. They're a type of foam rubber, so I wouldn't expose them to heat, so I have no idea how much heat they'd tolerate. And, finally, no; they're not FR. I'm not an expert in FR clothing, but isn't the FR-ness of protective clothing based on the external layer? Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't you basically wear napalm skivvies and not affect the Kcal rating of your FR clothing?

I think they can withstand heat; just not from cold to hot. I think most glass is like that.

They are crimp style. I have tooling that will work for this myself , but I had soldered these for others in the past. Plating could be compromised by heating but didn't happen when I did this with very light flame settings using acetylene torch.

No. These are very good extentions for the price of them but they do not handle heat well.

Yes! They should be able to! I just don't know how much heat they CAN take. They definitely are not as heat resistant as original pyrex, which was made with borosilicate glass while this stuff is made with soda/lime glass. Just not as good!

Yes they hold shape and they are thin just make sure you use correct tool to bend or you will crease them

Their silicone. So, yes they can handle the oven temp of 450. It's shocking though, cause the grip they have feels great.

Not sure. You would have to cook them longer. They may char on the outside before heating through.

Once the mold is hot you can pop them out about as fast as you can fill the mold. I use wheel weights and knock them directly into a 5 gal bucket of water. Keeps them from deforming and they harden to over 20 on the Brinel scale. I've shot them at 2400 fps with no problems.

I think they are made of polypropylene. The hottest liquid I've used them for is very hot tap water (about 115 degreesF); never tried anything hotter. But they are VERY thin so I wouldn't try anything hot enough to burn me.

I'm not certain. I do know that it wasn't heat resistant. When I poured hot mix into the mold it changed shape. This could have been my mistake certainly. I only tried them once.

No they will catch on fire. They are only resistant to heat. I use them for welding and leaning on the warm metal

they are not bendable. they are hard. put them on the top rack of dishwasher. one of mine melted some.

Whoop! Yes you can. With or without heat..You also can adjust the flame height. Hope this helps..

They will bend if warmed with a heat gun. I've also used hard acrylic straws as replacement tubes. They can be bent the same way.

I havent tried it but they r made of fairly thick silicone. I would guess they would b fine as long as they r towards the top (away from the flame.

I would think that they would be heat resistand because they are thick and sturdy. However I would think that the constant use of placing heat on it would dry the wood out and they would become brittle... I don't now for sure. I was more than pleased with the construction of this placemat and it's durability.
