I have a piece of 11" flexwatt and one end of the cord got pulled out of the clip. I had repaired and put it back together, but it got pulled out again, and now the short tab of the metal clip broke off.

I've tried soldering the copper to the clip that folds in 1/2 and attaches/pinches the flex directly, but it won't hold.

Can I replace the entire tab/clip assembly and have it hold, or will there be stray current that could zing? Or use a tab and some electrical tape. Would that be secure enough???

I need a RELIABLE, and SAFE! way to repair this w/o taking apart the other side. It's intact and complete, and I need this piece of flex in order to have 4 tubs all identical to put on my t-stat.


T-I-A for suggestions.
