    DIY incubator, need some help here peeps :)
    Can someone please help me? I've asked this question before but haven't received any replies.

    Does flexwatt have to be mounted on a flat surface? the mini fridge i have doesnt have a flat back or flat sides, so I cant tape it down like i see everyone else has done. Can I just tape it lightly over those bumps on the back? like on the top and bottom of the flex? Also, would a 11"x24" piece of flexwatt be enough to heat it? the fridge is 36" x 18" x 18". here's a pic to show the insides of it.

    thanks in advance!

    You may not have received any replies because people just don't know. I wouldn't think there would be any problems with taping it over the bumps (using aluminum tape) as long as you have it connected to a thermostat so it doesn't get too hot, but that goes without saying.

    One piece of flexwatt should be enough, but I would suggest installing a fan to circulate the air and prevent hot spots.

    Good luck!

    xdeus, thanks so much for answering my questions.

    I figured no one knew the answers and I actually toyed with the idea of not re-posting as I didn't want to get in trouble for asking the same ? over n over but I needed to know so... I asked one last time and hoped I wouldnt get in trouble andddddd... Wa-La you came thru for me :)

    thank you again & take care!
