Just a question, all your other racks have sealed edges are you going to seal the edge of your new rack to prevent outgassing of formaldehyde? If that is the plan what are you going to use. I personally so hate edging tape so if you have something else I'd love to know.

What?
Usually we use iron on edge tape but we may just spray paint it. Not sure yet.

How many thermometer probes did you use, just one? If so, does it matter where the probe went?

Huh
we have a melamine rack that is 3+ years old and has never had the edges covered and it's never caused an issue either.
I've never heard of an issue with it either, have you?

Hard to say if the outgassing effects snakes but URI is one of the issues in people. there are formaldehyde free particle boards but it is not as common. The melamine isn't a issue at all, but the particle board substrate ? I don't know, it seems to me that sealing it isn't that difficult so it makes sense in case it could be an issue.

Each rack breaks down into two boxes. We just used one probe and put it on a shelf in the middle. Doesnt really matter where the probe goes we just put it somewhere in the middle.

What do you mean it breaks into two boxes?
Also I have seen in some racks they put foil tape down before the flexwatt, then laying the flexwatt on top of the tape, is this something you do or have heard of?

There a top section that stacks on the bottom to complete the rack. Makes it easier to move this way.
I have put down foil tape before just preference i guess. Just seems like a waste of tape to me. The thermostat is going to keep he same temp regardless.
Please excuse any errors sent from my crap phone.
