    Can you post a picture of how your rack looks with the reflectix? And how did you attach it?

    Don't mean to bump this, but I'm getting my rack tomorrow and was wondering if some of you could post pictures on how and where your probe is placed on the heat tape. Will be greatly appreciated thanks!

    MJT Simply get some of the heat tape/electricle tape, And place it in contact on heat tape but where the bin wont push and shove it! THERE ALSO another way which you could do it semi helps set temp INSIDE if you dont want to play

    Step 1: Get some material the the same as your tubs are made out of"
    Step 2: Tape the prob onto that material
    Step 3: Tape that onto the heat tape (if you use no substrate of course

    But many people do the plain ol fashion way of Just taping prob directly on the heat tape (usually mid shelf or as close to mid as u can get)

    AP racks come with a slot milled in for probe placement...
