Alright mate? I am from the UK and used to look to the US forums for new ideas. I have a few questions on your youtube video that pointed me to this forum. I used to use the flexwatt but found another company that are as credible as them called Flexel. They let me tour their facility. They make the product in Scotland. They have been around almost as long as flexwatt and i am very interested to hear there is a better heat tape available now. I do have one question before I start using this tape. I cant seem to find anything on THG and the product looks like a Korean product called Rexva. Is this a German company or is it actually Rexva? We have had many issues using a product that looks similar from three different Korean companies where the heat either disappeared after 6-8 months and the heater resistance drastically lowered. In another few instances the wattage went from 8 watts to over 20 watts causing a fire. It was not very stable over time. On a funny note some headcase from Korea sent me a product that was actually pen ink and not conductive carbon but that was just comical. I had a falling out with Flexel (you are probably familiar with their Ultratherm heaters) and even though flexwatt has worked without any issues for years they have absolutely no idea about our hobby. They only sell rolls and the shipping to the UK is higher than the product itself for goodness sake! Can anyone put me in touch with THG so I can make sure it is not Rexva that manufacturers it? If you could point me to a website for the manufacturer that would be brilliant.
I watched the infrared video and cant understand it. Can you explain that? I really appreciate it. the one on the left is glowing so it is obviously much hotter but I am not sure how to get a full understanding on this. THey cannot be the same wattage so I am not sure what to look for.
Lastly does this product come in 230 volt or would I need to step down the voltage?
Cheers mate.
