What is the melting point? Was wondering about keeping these with my CERT gear in a closed car, possibly for months at a time.

I've never had them melt in my car & I live in St. Louis hot summers. They are the best in my opimions ever!!

I'm afraid i can't say with any certainty the actual melting point but, these have survived in my pocket in 130+ degree attics. The only one I've ever had melt was left on an ac unit in direct sunlight for over a week... I hope this helps

I have used these pens for years, but I have never deliberately left them in a vehicle for an extended period of time, maybe the occasional weekend here or there, but I don't think it should be a problem, they don't seem to be too sensitive to heat or cold. I recommend them, I regularly use them to write on wet or frosty items, when a Sharpie can't. I think would put your pen(s) in a small zipper bag just to be safe until you see hav they react in your climate this summer. Good idea keeping one with your CERT gear, I should probably thow one in with mine too.

Depending on the heat dissipated by the current bulb you're using. If these type bulbs don't cool off or are encased, they can melt. I tried using one of these for accent lights in a headlight harness and melted away.

Depends on how long you are planning on keeping them. I've kept them unrefrigerated for a few weeks and they were fine.

I could have my friend in Japan read the packaging for me, but I'd guess that depends on how hot your cycles go and if you could get the little lids to prop open right in your utensil basket. It says they withstand temperatures from -4f to 158f (-20c to 70c). I didn't worry about it since I just washed them out when I got home.

I find better performance when stored at a steady room temp. Between 68 & 74 degrees Fahrenheit. Extreme cold or heat for long periods will lessen performance and longevity. Heat especially can cause leakage. (Don't leave them in your flashlight, in your car repeatedly for week after week in July and August).

These are much better. I've had them in quite hot microwaves with no melting. (No doubt the venting helps too!) I think you'll find that they'll do the job for you just fine.

I put them in my vw mark 6 gti if your car has stock h.I.d.s they won't melt anything.

The application I used it for did not involve heat, so I can't answer based on any real world information. If I were to guess, the inside temperature of a car in summer is probably not going to melt it.

Not sure the melting point but I think it melts around 4-500 my iron is usually set around 650 and it's great stuff

I know that they can stand a lot of heat, but why take the chance? This would be over a lot longer period at a very high temperature and since it's not difficult to just remove them, why not be on the safe side?

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!

They can withstand high temps.. If you're baking, it's definitely not going to hurt it! These are used for baking, so 350-425 this will be fine. I'm guessing it can hold up for higher temps, because they have silicon oven mitts. You can probably google a more accurate answer, but I'm 99% sure that this product will not melt in your oven when baking!! :) hope this helps you!

I don't recall if I've used mine at that high of a temp. I have used them under the broiler (gas) for 10 mins or so and they were fine. They are pretty thick and heavy-gauge aluminum...not your typical cheap "big box store" specials. I've had several of those that after a few minutes at a high temp you can actually hear them "pop" when they buckle. I would think these would hold up well at high temps just like most all Calphalon does. Regardless, they have a warranty from Calphalon so if they buckle, send them back. :)

I keep this in my garage where I work, and never had a problem with it getting 'melty'. And with the doors all closed up, it gets mighty hot. Not to say you can't, but I personally don't see the need to keep in fridge. As soon as you put it on your project, it instantly hardens. This is one great product, and the small container will last you forever!

When kept in cool and dry storage, I've kept them for at least several months. Don not expose to warm temps like keeping in your car. The gum seems to break down and when you pop it in your mouth it just melts.

Happy to answer your questions, Steve. I use them in the freezer all the time but don't drop them! They'll break pretty easily if frozen (especially when filled up with frozen goodies). You didn't ask but I'll offer that I'm very careful when heating something up with these in the microwave. Defrosting, yes; warming, sure; getting something pretty darn hot? I've done it successfully and nothing's melted yet, but I'm cautious.

Of course not, they would melt!! :-) This unit is awesome, definitely worth buying!
