Heating Cables

I cant find for the life of me the max heat output of any of these cables. i was wondering in anyone has used these before and can shed some light on this subject. I need to know if thay get hot enough to melt plastic or require a specific airflow around it so thay do not overheat and burn.

thanks in advance

From what I understand, they must be used with a thermostat... That would make the max output what you set on the thermostat... I have read some on their use for snakes, and I think they just stick it right on the plastic, but it is always used with a thermostat. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful... Maybe try BPforum, a great deal of people there use flexwatt on plastic, so you will probably get lots of good answers.
