    Adhesive UTH - Can you leave the backing on?

    I'm looking at my BP setup and buying it piece by piece these next few weeks and the only UTHs I can find in town are Zoo-Med and Exo-Terra adhesive ones. Because I'll be moving my BP to bigger tanks as he grows I'd rather not take the hit of a new UTH every time he needs a move.
    Is it safe to use one of these heaters with the backing still on the adhesive side?
    I suppose I could also stick it to a thin tile or something, right?

    Edit - I don't want to use heat tape because I would have to order it online and well... you know how the credit card bill monster gets sometimes!
    So I guess I'd rather stick to my local supplies. I did go to the big reptile store we had in town (didn't know we had one until I got there!) but they didn't do heat tape and the guy was very pushy =\
