    Alternative rack materials?

    Bummer about melamine. It works so well! And clean up is super easy. Yes a little heavy but that's why you add wheels I have made 4 racks out of
    melamine and I don't think I would go with anything else. Yes it's a little heavy but well worth it as long as its reinforced

    When using aluminum tape to hold down the heat tape, do you cover the whole strip of tape, or just the edges? Does it matter?

    Just the edges. Yes it matters. And make sure not to use aluminum tape to hold the probe in place

    Just seal up all cut areas no big deal. I far far prefer pvcx as it is fire retardant as well.

    Heat tape like flexwatt is a radiant heat source. It reflects from shiny objects aluminum is especially good at reflecting radiant heat (emergency Mylar blankets) placing it over the element will reflect some of the generated heat back to the heat source. Inefficient use of power and it could over heat the heater a d cause problems.
