    Hi,

    This is why we recommend the aluminium tape - it's designed specifically to stay stuck at high temps.

    Also if you put the probe between the UTH and the bottom of the enclosure it can't normally fall off as it's being held in place by both sides.

    Hi,

    You can use the aluminium tape to hold on the heat mat too.
