    Air bubbles on heat pad?

    I completely forgot about air bubbles when putting it on... It has air bubble all over it in between the pad and the glass. I tried to get them out put it is very hard and I'm worried about damaging the inside if i press too hard.

    Also I've heard about resticking being okay. Is that possible?

    Re: Air bubbles on heat pad?

    Not sure about the air bubble, but I have re-stuck heat pads before. I think if your careful enough taking it off, and don't bend it much, it can be done. Always rather safe than sorry though, so if its really on there good and you're not able to get it off without bending it, I think its worth the piece of mind to get a new one and not have to worry about it.
    But yes, I have taken heat pads off and re-stuck them without any problem.

    I could be wrong but I don't see how air bubbles would affect anything. As far as re-sticking, as long as it sticks you should be fine. If it wont stick properly just add some more tape or something like that to keep it attached. As long as the unit wasn't damaged when peeling it off you should be fine.

    As long as they are small it won’t have an effect. I did test the air bubble spots in one of mine and there was considerable heat loss in those spots.
