    Foil Tape

    So, just out of curiosity, when you tape a UTH to the bottom and use foil tape, is it just the "water proofing" tape that they sell at walmart? Thats the only foil tape I can find and am wondering if that will be ok or not??

    Foil tape can be bought at lowes or home depot. Way cheaper than the stuff at the above link. I paid 6 bucks for a roll.

    Make sure what ever tape you get is heat rated. Personally I will not use tape not rated to at least 50% higher than the MAX heat the heat source can produce. I have heaters that cap around 160º and add safety factor of (50%) 80º means a rated tape to 240ºF some al tape is rated for heat some not. I would not suggest using anything that may have adhesive burn or anything thing else if it gets too hot.
