    Securing Flexwatt

    Hello,

    First time for me using Flexwatt and I have a quick question:

    I am securing to hardboard with foil tape. Do I/should I cover the Flexwatt completely with tape or just the edges?
    I am using a wire shelving unit for my make-shift snake rack and have the hardboard to lay on top of the wire shelf. The tub(s) will slide back and forth on this at the same time I will be placing little rubber "feet" on the bottom of each tub so it will not be in direct contact with the Flexwatt.
    Do I even need the feet or can I let the tub rest on the Flexwatt? (OK I had 2 questions . . .)

    Here is a pic of the one I have already set up. (side view) At this time I do not have a T-stat and will be using a dimmer so I have a temp probe taped to the Flexwatt and am using a temp gun for tub temps.



    Thanks for any help

    Jim

    That is taped pretty much how Most people tape.

    As far as the feet go, assuming that your flexwatt is hooked to a thermostat, you could put the tub right on the flex.
