Okay so this is my first rack that i built and im going to daisy chain the lamp cord to 12, 1 foot strips of 6inch THG heat tape,(12 watts per foot) so if i ever have a strip malfunction i can replace it,

anyway i went to Home depot to get lamp cord/wire to do the daisy chain, but she was asking about amps and watts, so i know what cords to buy,

I also what to know if i have to have aluminum foil tape to tape down my heat tape,

i was planing on buying that thick moisture sealing electrical tape but im prolly just gonna use regular elec. tape ,

if there is anything im forgetting to mention or u need to know first let me know ill be sure to reply

and if i dont use alum. foil tape, can i use duct tape to tape down the Heat tape so the tub goes over it easier and the tape would wear out before the heat tape
