If you use it just make sure it isn't applied over the elements.

Aluminum tape is what I have seen in most examples, and how I have my incubator and racks configured. I've only been doing this about a year now, so I fortunately haven't had any issues with this setup. What would you recommend to put over the heat tape elements instead of aluminum tape?
