If I use a velcro wrap to secure it rolled, can I use it as a wrap for my hot iron when traveling?

Your question is not very clear, so I am going to have to make some assumptions. It appears you are using Velcro to secure your rolled mat. I assume you are referring to storing a hot soldering iron in your rolled mat that is secured by the Velcro. If your soldering iron is for low temperature solders (melting point about 360 degrees F) then you should not have a problem since the silicone mat has an upper limit of 600 degrees F. Having said that, I think it would be a good idea to let the iron cool for about 5 minutes before storing it. If your question is, can you put the Velcro in direct contact with the hot soldering iron, the answer is "NO". The Velcro will most likely melt.

I suppose it would depend on the type of fabric. If you are talking spandex or lycra or something like that, I would think no. If you are thinking jersey knit, possibly... I guess it would depend on how well whatever you are using holds a fold when it is ironed.

This heating pad is fairly heavy, so it might not "loosely" wrap around. I actually sleep on mine, because you can adjust the temperatures to the exact temperature that you prefer. Another "plus" is that it is longer than most heating pads.

I don't see any issues with that. Just make sure you still pack it full like the instructions say to do so you don't chance tearing of the fabric.

Yes you can. You may need a little more heat than shrink wrap though but not much.

Same as loopandwave, I usually use a wrap more than one. 1. because it's expensive, and 2.because it is still warm after one use. My method for "preserving" the heat is simpler than loopandwave's, but the logic is the same. I usually put it in the original package and put it in a zipper bag. As long as you keep "air" out, it should work. Sometimes I carry it in a zipper bag to my office, and when I feel I need it, I just take it out from the zipper bag. It will heat up and stay warm for another couple hours.

I don' t use or have the wrap as of yet. There should be plenty of space, plus the loop, ( up top of tubing ) it is made of a stretchy-plastic spring type material. (Similar to what they make some key rings out of -- though tougher plastic material .) So there is some lee-way for you.

Yes, but going around corners and using as a wrap will need some steam to loosen and patience. If you do it right please send pics cuz that's going to look very cool!

No. It is made of Styrofoam and would melt if heated. It keeps already heated items warm. I use it for biscuits and rolls and it keep them warm perfectly.

I got this item for traveling for our dog, because it folds flat for the glove compartment etc. I think you could serve hot items in it with no problems, if camping for instance. But not boiling hot items.

I see no reason that you couldn't use Velcro, but it might not hold it in place outdoors. R

The answer is YES! (as long as it's not "used up") I've been re-using these wraps for years and here's how: The iron material is air-activated so deny it air. Fold it in half and roll it up tightly with the iron cells on the inside & wrap it air-tight. I use a plastic bag inside another plastic bag with the air pressed out of both. You can also put a tissue on the cells before you roll up the wrap to absorb the small amount of moisture that the wrap will give off after (partial) use (but the tissue is optional). Go ahead and start a wrap that you know you'll only use for a few hours. Deny it air and you'll have hours of use left. The answer is YES!

No. It is to divert heat from source. Not for wrapping the heated surface. You might want a insulated blanket or a wrap that's rated for high heat for your application.

I used it for my carpet in my car worked perfectly. I used some 3m seam tape to connect the seams.. , I do not see why Velcro would not attach to it..

It comes with a travel bag. I believe it's heat resistant, I put my hot iron after it slightly cooled in it and it didn't melt.

We used it to wrap dressers, and furniture for moving. If you applied some tape around the material after you luggage is wrapped I'd imagine it'd be great for that application. To be honest it wrapped really good for the price, the material thinkness was also impressive for the price point.

I think so. The strap can be wrapped around anywhere and tightened with velcro.
