    What kind of tape do you use to tape down probe?

    I've heard of people using packing tape, electrical, foil and even duct tape. I tape directly to the heat tape, what is the best tape for this? Thanks

    I use packing tape as there is 0 chance of it conducting any electricity. The aluminum tape was a good idea but there is always a chance of an incident. On my 41qt HD racks I use gorilla tape seeing it's more exposed than say the incubator.

    Just to be clear for anyone not sure ... The use of ANY tape is only for use OUTSIDE the Viv / rub ...
