Will it get hot enough to melt a plastic (vinyl) table cloth?

No. It only gets to about 20 degrees (F) above room temperature. 80 degrees to 90, max.

I don't think so as it does not get hot, just warm to the touch. I placee mine on a metal stand but the trays that I use are designed to start seeds and are plastic. I have also used the plastic containers that cakes/pies come in with the plastic lids and solo cups for seedlings and have never had an issue.

I don't believe it will. It's hard to tell its on by holding it. It only warms things.

that would depend on the stove. some get quite warm on the bottom. so you should try feeling it to see if it gets very warm. my impression is this table is pretty tough and it would handle it. i'm not a plastic molding guym,,, but i think they mold plastic above 300 degrees so i doubt the stove gets that hot.

If you aren't getting skin burns, you won't melt the plastic, so yes this will work fine.

Still no one has answered this. Does it get too hot to touch? Can it melt PVC pipe if it's in direct contact with it?

Only very briefly. If you leave it on too long it would melt most plastics. A quick swipe will make it shinny actually.

Yes but it is made almost entirely from metal so it will get very hot. Be prepared only to touch it with hot mits.

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

If it were me I would never consider using it with plastic. It will get hot enough to burn your hand, or plug it in and put your hand on it and see what you think.

No, the product will not melt but will become a little more tacky. I have had mine for a few months now and noticed that with the change in temp. (summer to winter or from around 90f to 20f) the Sticky will become a little more brittle and a little less tacky. It seems also to pick up every bit of dust in the air, because of the tacky nature of the plastic it is made of. Still works well and holds items but a little less tacky than first purchased. Have had item a few months now. Its not expensive so I would say give it a try.

Yes, I have used ti to melt butter but it doesn't discolor the plastic because of the high temperature.

NO! The plastic handle would melt from the heat!! You need a cast iron skillet, the handle will take the heat.

I don't think so, it has plastic corpus so I think that high heat will damage it.

You can certainly put something warm (or even relatively hot) on it, but the plastic will melt if comes in contact with hot metal. I know from experience, because I have a marred corner from letting it touch a stove burner.

I have used the smaller version on a plastic bin before with no issues of melting. And I have the xl heating pad on a glass tank that sits on a ikea tv stand with no problem. I do not see why these would pose a threat to the wood stand. Also Google came up with results saying wood will start to burn at 450 degrees (depends on the type of wood), so I think these heating pads would be fine.

It is made of glass so it would get hot quick but the glass is quite thick and should hold up well. The top is plastic though so I don't know about how that would do.

My tables are always set with table cloth. I've had no problems with it scorching the cloth.
