UTH on Plastic

I'm making the switch to tubs:


So does attaching a heat pad to a plastic tub have any affect on the plastic over time?

Heating the plastic to 90 degrees over long periods is not a problem?

There aren't any issues as long as the UTH is regulated by a thermostat and doesn't overheat.

As long as it's regulated, there shouldn't be an issue.
I bought a used rack that is heated with flexwatt, and the tubs are slightly white where the flexwatt runs across, but I am not sure if the guy I got it from was using the thermostat correctly.

No issues in my racks or stand-alone tubs. Make sure you tape the UTH to the tub with aluminum foil tape instead of using the sticky stuff on the pad itself. This way, you can reuse the UTH if/when you upgrade tub size. :gj:
