Foil tape won't stick to the tub.
Any suggestions on how to remedy this?

Stick it to the UTH instead

Why are you sticking it to the tub? Wouldn't you still it to the UTH device that you are using like say Flexwatt??
Am I missing something?

I'm taping a UTH to the bottom of a tub. It's a tub that's not in a rack.

I have tubs on shelving, and I tape the UTH and probe on the shelf itself, then just add and remove the tub as needed...make it easier for cleaning too..

Yeah, I've never heard of taping it to the bottom. Seems like a pain in the rear if you have to move the bin and then everything comes with it (cords, etc) seems like a hassle.

clean the surface with rubbing alcohol first. that should do the trick.

I have a metal multipurpose shelves from Walmart, I had plywood cut down to fit each shelf, then taped the flexwatt and probe down directly onto the wood (hard to tape it down to the metal, and it's not a solid surface, it's like wires).
