Does this rack make sense?

Hey, I actually found 3/4 inch at HD and for heat I'm goin with 4 inch belly heat on a Herpstat.

I think there is a DIY about using a continuous flex watt strip thru the whole rack. Allows heat to be better kept in the rack, along with having belly heat.
That being because the continuous strip will have to do a S pattern down the rack allowing for side heat and belly heat. This will help keep ambient temps up.
Or if your handy you can wire in parallel.
