i didnt find it i bought it at a grocery store a while back since they had too many and were tossing them away. they were used to display the holiday cookieso nly.

the cooler has .5inch of the Styrofoam on the walls and then a plastic or metal lining over that. keeps a steady 32 degrees.

well if this i cant get to work which i want it to then i can sell to the best bidder.

That thing should be pretty well insulated. If you need, try lining the inside with Reflectix.

where would i find that stuff. i been looking for that tape to tape the heat tape down and i CAN NOT find it anywhere,

Reflectix is next to the insulation at your local Lowes store. Or you can find it online.

The aluminum tape can be found at Walmart I believe in the hardware section, or you'd have a sure shot getting it at any hardware store.

alright is that reflectix insulation like tape. cut to size and stick it. and how much is that per roll.

im getting the cooler set up tomorrow best i can till the flexwat arrives from reptilebasics. then ill get some trials ready.

forgot to say ill be using HATCHRITE

No, Reflectix comes in a big roll and the size I have used was around 30 bucks a roll. Its a foil backed bubble insulation. A small local hardware store sells it off the roll, so you can also buy it in smaller quantities. So checking with smaller stores may be a good idea knowing you won't need much.

But try it without the insulation, you should be fine.

the cooler is lined with .5 sheating insulation.

Heres a link to whats insdie cooler now. so im gonna add another layer to the cooler.
