i guess i'm just intimidated by using the tape due to the fact that IF it burned my house down i just worry that insurance wouldn't cover it because i'm not an electrician and wired up a heater on my own. If i'm just being paranoid PLEASE by all means let me know. I realize that the few cases i read about hot spots and ppl starting fires/ melting tubs and injuring reptiles were more than probably due to ignorance and ppl not using quality thermostats. (i have a helix proportional thermostat on the way) I've wired up full hoods running like 800watts of power compact lighting for breeding coral. IDK just something about wiring up a device capable of high heats myself and putting it onto wood inside my house that sketches me out. Thats the only reason i bought the cable. Now i just can't find any info on it. thanks....
