Still, you want it on the side. unless that styrofoam thing is needed to have a small gap so nothing can escape. I'm pretty sure Chris is one of the best guys in the industries and there is a reason he gives that reflective heat tape, because it's really good to use, better than electrical tape and all that.

I'm trying to offer you advice but if you're going to reject it then I won't offer anymore advice. That other type of tape you're using will not hold up, this reflective heat tape holds up. I've used it to hold stuff in place where a screw broke under the hood of a truck and never had it come undone.

Change the tape, it's worth a shot to see if it fixes your problem and relocate your probe. That's the same advice you'll get from other people.
