Ok, so I've tried researching the information myself and reading through threads, but I've got a couple questions.

I was under the impression that the flex watt was to be cut in 1 foot sections. I got my flex watt and it's different than I was expecting. It looks to me that I could cut it any length I wanted as long as I cut between the heat strips. Please tell me I'm right! I plan to cut in in two pieces as I have two 3 foot shelves.

My second question, if I want two stripes I will need to do some parallel connecting. If I do that I won't be able to use the metal connectors right? I would rather do that than any soldering. Could I connect the first and second shelf on the left side of the rack with the metal connectors and then connect the plug in to the bottom shelf on the right side then plug that into my thermostat?

I'm sure that was way confusing, maybe this will help??

and bottom shelf ============= connect shelf to plug

Can I do that?


Oh and a third question The pamphlet that came with the flex watt says that some people cover the flex watt with things like duct tape. Do I need to cover the flex watt with anything or do I put the tubs directly on the tape?


The flex watt is 3", 10 watts per foot, and in a 6 foot section. My thermostat can handle 500 watts, so I should be good
