How well does this help with dissapating heat? I was gonna use this to tape around my shifter since it is giving off heat.

No, it's not intended to dissipate the heat but to reflect radiant heat. I used it as a heat shield between the exhaust system and the plastic belly pan on a snowmobile.

Hello nick its more like a protection for wires that are close to intense heat

I use one of these to switch my 240v AC since it doesn't have a temperature sensor on it. Works great, but be cautious about how much power you draw through it. Without the additional heatsink (sold separately of course) it can get hot enough to begin melting the plastic casing around it. I thought I was well within the limits without a heatsink but after a year noticed some slight deformation of the plastic. Doesn't hurt to be safe and get the additional heatsink.

I don't no. I was using it to repair a hole in a radiator. I was not pleased, it did not work well at all. The whole was the size of a pin head. I don't think it works to well with heat. I would read the information on what kind of metals it works with. Good luck.

I used this product for Harley Davidson pipes, can't get rid of all heat but it really helped, cutting down on the heat coming off pipes! ( 100percent ) satisfied

I would find a tape especially for electrical purposes, because of its aluminum qualities it has the potential to conduct even a small ammount of electricity. The 3m websites also states it's good for shielding but they refer to heat not electricity.one thing you could do is lay electrical tape on top of your electronics and then lay this tape on top .

Hi,yes, it is a very sticky tape, I use it extensively on aftermarket turbo vehicles. It is generally used as a edging tape to the heat shield mat, they have the mat in the very same material. If you use the mat to cover the box, then use this tape to make a edging with it, it will be good. But you can also use the tape by itself, but will be expensive and not as insulate as mush as the mat. We are a modification shop, if you need more help and pictures, let me know. Aloha.

I have taped dc adapters that get warm with this tape before. Held up fine. Couldn't tell you how much heat was generated. I doubt this will hold up to a lot of heat though.

The heating pad does flex a bit but I don't know if it will flex enough to do what you want. My concern would be possible damage to the wiring/element inside the pad. A call or email to the mfg. would be your best bet regarding possible damage. I used mine on my truck's oil pan. Works great but it didn't require much bending to install.

these pads are great at taking heat! lots of heat and not sticking, but I would not want to cut, it is not a self sealing material

I would say the tip is way to big for the small spots you would be trying to melt. Also i don't know it the heat range is high enough for even low temp solder. I use it to apply to shrink wrap to solder wires

Doesn't make a difference, I used foam mostly and fiberglass insulation in other places.. The heat tape can be wraped around itself and it will not burn thru. Any type of insulation works. I prefer foam.

This works great for shrink wrap tubing. Probably, my number one use of the heat gun.

Sorry. I haven't used it for that. I would imagine though it would work. It does work on electrical wire heat shrink. Sorry I could not be of help.

Not sure if it reflects heat but I used it on my exhaust wrap to seal it up and make it look more black,I think it might tho reflect heat and stick to your fuel lines if the lines are clean and dry.

This thing sounds good, but if you read the instructions, you can't use it on any type of direct heat. So I would say probably no. Save your money on this and just get a nice metal one. I hope this helps.

Hello: The tip where the heat comes out is about 5/8" in diameter. The tool works good for heat shrink tubing and general heating. The gun is not supper hot as the larger units, only about 300 or so watts, but works good for me.

Yes it helps protect from heat damage and dryness from using heated tool. If you are using a heated styling tool you should always use some type of heat protectant.
