Foil Tape

So, just out of curiosity, when you tape a UTH to the bottom and use foil tape, is it just the "water proofing" tape that they sell at walmart? Thats the only foil tape I can find and am wondering if that will be ok or not??

It's THIS KIND.

TY, I am getting some ASAP!

Foil tape can be bought at lowes or home depot. Way cheaper than the stuff at the above link. I paid 6 bucks for a roll.

Make sure what ever tape you get is heat rated. Personally I will not use tape not rated to at least 50% higher than the MAX heat the heat source can produce. I have heaters that cap around 160º and add safety factor of (50%) 80º means a rated tape to 240ºF some al tape is rated for heat some not. I would not suggest using anything that may have adhesive burn or anything thing else if it gets too hot.
