Heat tape is making my fingers tingle. Question!

[Kaorte]

So I need to use electrical tape on both "ends" of the heat tape? Right now the only part that has electrical tape is the sides with the wiring on them. Sounds easy enough I hope!

Yes, the opposite end where the flexwatt is cut will have a small part of exposed metal. That is most likely why you are feeling the shock. Just cover them with electrical tape and you will be good to go

Flexwatt = heat tape. Same stuff
