rbi rack question Please help

Foil tape sticks very well to itself, try laying tape flat on the flexwatt surface then tape the probe to the flat taped area...

My flexwatt on my rack is fully covered in foil tape, this helps the flex watt from wearing out from sliding tubs in and out...

Same here. I only had this problem once. I moved the probe, and it is all good now. I also use foil tape.

Great idea! My flexwatt seems to be warmer in certain spots along the tape. Foil tape should conduct the heat from a wider area giving you a temp "average" to tape the probe to. I'm gonna give this a try.

About the probe placement, I dont know how the your heat tape is set up, but mine is belly heat. One strip goes down the wall onto the next level going through all levels this way. My probe is taped to the corner where the wall and bottom meet. No chance of the tub hitting it.

Thanks for all your help everyone. I got it taped up good now. I wasn't taping it in the right spot.... and I wasn't using nearly enough tape.

Thanks again!!
