Anyone use this on wood? I'm looking to use it on a Biolite, but I'm worried about melting the fins

The description states the lid and handles are silicone, which can handle direct heat up to 500 degrees. You will not have a problem with a wood stove melting these.

I suggest writing the manufacturer to play it safe. From my own experience, I don't think wood is going to be an issue as the concentrated blue flames of a gas micro/pocket rocket leave no damaging effects. Few open wood fires burn that hot. Large orange flames in the Bioliite Stove could be a concern as XTS Pot has a plastic lid, and the plastic on the handles will melt.

I have only used mine for a couple of months, on walnut, oak, purpleheart and cedar. Can't say for sure, but probably at least 500 board feet. No problems yet. I do take it easy, very light passes and for sure no nails in the wood. The cost of new blades is not outrageous. And there is always the option of adding the helic head(?) which offers several advantages. Bottom line, however, is that I don't really think the blades are so "bad". This is a really nice machine.

I'll start by saying I love this nail gun ... but it's probably overkill for both shoe and crown molding. I have a smaller brad nailer that I use for molding. You might be able to dial the air pressure back and use the smallest nail possible ... it's heavy crown molding it might be enough to keep the nail from cracking the wood.

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.

Mine will do very coarse better than ultra fine. I use it on fish all the time.

As great as Mortite is, it is NOT intended for high temp applications!! I can't tell you the actual melting point but I can tell you that you can set it on fire with an open flame. Do not use it around your fireplace, please.

No, we were told that it should be fine by our heating and cooling installer. However, if it is a a lit of the fins, it can affect air flow. I would check with your installer to be safe.

I would try to contact the manufacturer. I have not used it on wood that has been treated for heat/water resistance. There may be chemicals in the two that do not mix well.

I've used on perfinished with no problems, I've used it on oak and maple. I'll be installing another floor next week and it's a perfinished cherry.

I have used this product on wood and metal. I used 2 good coats. I worked great on my fridge and wood molding. On the metal fridge it holds up great to heavy wear, but i dont know how it would do on the seat part (metal rivets and all). If you use this product on the legs and back rest it would work beautifully. I think this should be the jewel in any crazy diy decorator (like me, lol)! I love it but make sure you let it dry completely between coats and work in a well ventilated room for a few tips. Cheap foam brushes work great and remember to keep brush stroke level and in the same direction. Good luck. I have used this product on wood and metal. I used 2 good coats.

Hi Sally,I am on a boat and used Quakehold a lot to hold small stuff down while cruising.I have an even temperature but I would think at a high temp. of 100 it would melt down.As I said it has been invaluable to me. I did try to use it on pictures on the wall but this wouldn't hold it needs to be on a table or such like not on a wall. I do use it to stop pics from sliding keeping them in place but after an amount of time we decided just to screw the pics to the wall, saved a lot of hassle.I hope this helps in your project. Glad I could be of help.Regards, Jean Hi Sally,I am on a boat and used Quakehold a lot to hold small stuff down while cruising.I have an even temperature but I would think at a high temp. of 100 it would melt down.As I said it has been invaluable to me.

Judging from my experience with these items, I would suggest you try it at slower speeds and work up till you have acheived a speed that works best on the material you are working with. Be careful not to let the bit get to hot. Running at a very high speed seems to ruin the cutting edge of the bit. I think the speed will vary according to the hardness of the material you are working with. Do not be afraid to use a little water with the bit either. It is very important not to overheat the bit. I hope this answer is of some help to you.

I used Wet and Forget on my concrete patio. I have not had experience on wood. Check with manufacturer.

I have seen it used on a rocket stove but not wood,you would have try that. I figure though, that as long as there is a consistent flame source, it might just very well work.

I use on my kitchen counter and it's formica, and not had any problems with heat. I don't see why it wouldn't be okay on glass or wood

I don't do woodcarving. I have used it on very rare occasions to clean fish. My guess if you're going to use it while manipulating very small pieces of wood it probably wouldn't work for you. But if you're carving wooden lures it might be worth a look.

I used on a fiberglass shower base and it worked great. I don't know about wood or metal.
