Personally I'd go with the flexwatt

Re: Need Some Help!
I have mine taped onto a few pieces of tile, but i dont see a problem going directly onto the shelf

Directly on the shelf will work just be aware that the tub sliding ontop of the flex-watt over time can damage it. Just throwing that out there!

Re: Need Some Help!
well whats good about the tubs i have is they are lifted at the corners slightly to keep off the flex-watt and theres enough room for me to lift the tub to clear the flex-watt.

My battery is dead on my cam, the way I have it is 3 of those small wall tiles in 2 rows (so 6 total, i'm using a 15qt tub also) then a small piece of flex on one side taped to the tile and the tub just sitting on top of it lifted a tad.

Re: Need Some Help!
can flex-watt be pretty much taped to any hard surface?

Re: Need Some Help!
Well the foil tape is what adheres the flexwatt to the surface (which doesn't come with it mind you :D ) It's pretty sticky/durable stuff so I would say you'd be ok :gj:

Re: Need Some Help!
ok cool. I'm going to put the 4 tubs right next to eachother lined up on the flex-watt. with a helix.
