    Heat tape?
    Was wondering if i should get 3" or 4" heat tape? What is the best material to use if i was making my own rack?

    # or 4 is fine I like 4 myself but it doesn't matter much. I would suggest PVCx for the rack material it is stable and water proof.

    What size tubs are you using?

    What is the temperature of the room the rack is going into?

    PVC is great because it is light weight and hold in heat/humidity very well.
    Melamine is heavy but holds in heat (not as good as PVC when dealing with humidity though)

    Those are really the top 2 choices.
