Spyder Robotics, maker of thermostats, says do not use Aluminium tape on their thermostat probes.
Calorique, Maker of flexwatt heat tape, says do not use aluminium tape with their product.
The evidence speaks for itself.
Nowhere do either of these two entities warn of the dangers of taping a thermostat probe (not the cord) directly to the heating element.
We live in a world where McDonald's has to warn us that coffee is hot, don't you think if it were dangerous to tape a probe directly to heat tape, that they would make this clear?
