Flexwat, how safe is it really?

i am
jist wondering why power was still supplied to the tape if it was getting hot enough to melt things? I use the stuff but am thinking of trying to get away from it, as it kind of worries me. Not sure if I can though. I am thinking about putting radiant heat in a small room, the size of a walk in closet. The animals wouldn't get a hot spot though and I am thinking the temps in the room would have to be about 85 degrees.

84 is fine. 84 to 88 works for me. There is absolutely no need for a hot spot if you provide these temps. Remember though, even radiant heat can still fail in a spectacular fashion. I trust oil filled radiators the most.
