are you getting a good connection like this? does it buzz??

im curious cause thats such an easy way to do it.

Here are some easy ways. To soider gives a good connection. Running in parallel will allow current to flow to othe pads should one fail. One plug in and one t-stat as long as all FW is sme size.

A good example of what the flexwatt would look like if you "S" run it along the sides of the rack can be found by googling "ballroom rack" (first link at time of posting - boaphile product) and scroll towards the bottom. Hope it paints the picture. :)
