Suppressors TBAC Cans vs Heat

[treillw]

How hot can you get a TBAC can before it's not good for it? Roughly how many shots? Is putting one on a semi auto a bad idea?

Semi is fine. Some F/A is fine. It's hard to overheat them unless you really put your mind to it.

Look at the "MATERIAL PROPERTIES" section of the product page for some more info,

What's the best way to figure out the can temp? Do the harbor freight infrared thermometers work good enough?

Welding crayons, but they are messy. In our experience the IR stuff doesn't work very well.

That does seem like a mess. No other decent ways?
