    Flexwatt in a home made rack?

    After you install the flexwatt into your new rack does the heat ever swell or buckle the shelves? What is the best wood to build a rack from? I was planning to buy a rack, but after seeing the racks on here, I may try building my own.

    To everyone who has a home made rack on here. Great job!

    I dont know much but but it seems like almost every rack that is home made is either made with just regular 2x4's or particle board with the melamine coat. I just finished mine now am trying to figure out which thermostat to use with my flexwatt so i can test everything out... then I will be done

    Hi George,
    Welcome to the board. I saw your rack. Very nice. Is it finished yet? I'm interested in seeing the finished pics. Are you going to the Raleigh show in May? We'll be there. It'll be a two hour drive for us, we're in Salisbury, NC.
