    lol you cannot be serious.

    Once again, Spyder Robotics says not to apply ALUMINIUM tape to their probe tips.

    Flexwatt IS saying Calorique, the manufacturer of Flexwatt does not recommend the use if aluminum foil tape with its heat tape products.

    Nowhere does either company say DO NOT USE CLEAR PLASTIC MAILING TAPE, OR DUCT TAPE to secure the probe tip directly to the heating element.

    I have also shown you that very experienced people have being doing it exactly this way for literally decades.

    If you still think it's dangerous or inaccurate, then by all means continue doing it your way. But you shouldn't continue to dogmatically state that it is wrong, if all available evidence shows otherwise.

    Here is a photo of the way my thermostat is setup. And I can assure you that I am getting accurate readings



    I am done.
