Question:
Instead of using unsightly packing tape to hold the back flexwatt in place so the snake can't slip out, do you think Aluminum Tape would work well? I know it's not going to melt the adhesive from the heat. Any suggestions on that?
Of all the tyrannies a tyranny executed for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. for it may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busibodies. For a robber baron's cruelty may cease; his cupidity may at some poitn be sadiated. But those who torment us for out own good do so without ceasing because they do so with the approval of their conscience. ~C.S. Lewis

Fantastic thread! Thanks!
I just want to know though...how much of a pain is it to get the Home Depot folks to make those cuts for you? Are you standing around for two hours wondering whether or not the pieces will be the right size?
The Home Depots/Lowes 'round these parts are kinda weak...you're lucky if you can get someone competent to help you out...

Aluminum tape would work fine...however that seems like it would be more unsightly? Haha.

Ya, it is a huuuuuge pain, sometimes I feel like telling them to walk away and let me do it myself!

Re: So you think you can build a rack like Pwilliams58?
Do you think one strip of 11' flexwatt would work along the back??
I have built one and one half of the back have pieces of wood to brace it, and was hoping to put trhe 11 inch flexwatt on the other side, do you think this would get the temps high enough? i really dont wanna lay a piece on each shelf....

11" would probably do you just fine. The 17" I used is same wattage per foot as the 11", both 20 watts per foot.
