Think about it this way. Your UTH shouldn't get hotter than 95. Have you ever seen a book go up in flames when it was 95 degrees outside?
Re: UTH and aluminum tape
:) Well put.
Oh, and you will want to save up for a thermostat ASAP! Rheostats are junk unless your room temp stays within 1-2 degrees of the same temp all the time - i.e stays between 79 and 81 no matter what.
Thermostats can only really be found online, and they run from the 'for now' ZooMed at $21, to the Johnson or Ranco at $80, to the Herpstat or Helix at over $100. It's the most expensive piece of equipment, but the most needed. :)
