Removing a sticky heat pad for further use

[MikeV]

I have herd if you blast the heat on the pad it will melt the adhesive enough to remove it. then reattach it with foil tape.

Thanks for the tip!

Ill try that when it comes time to do so

I have used under the tank heat mats for years, they are very durable. As long as they are not severely bent or cracked, they work. Even if when you remove it and it is not sticky anymore, you can either duct tape it or foil tape it back on to the tank.

Thanks good to know itll survive a removal, and I will for sure tape it back onto the new tub with foil tape

thanks again

They are not made to be removed and re-used - they will create hot spots in some cases.

Well if I do decide to rip it off and reuse it, I will be testing it for sure before I put it into use with one of my animals

I would probably just put the thermometer probe on the tub at different part of the heat pad to see if there is any hot spots.

Thanks!
