    Do I apply the foil tape underneath the whole tub or just the area where the flexwatt is?

    Spiral, welcome to the forums. You basically use the foil tape to tape the Flexwatt down to your rack, or cage. It will hold the flexwatt in place.

    Are your tubs in a rack? Apply it to where the heat source is, to hold it in place
