    What are you using to test the temperature incidentally ?!
    Most of the heat mats I've ever tested easily reached 30C+.

    Presumably , the heat mat is on a unit , then the rub placed over the heat mat ?

    How much space between the mat and the rub ?!?

    Just wondering if the some of the heat is escaping sideways .

    I've seen similar reports and they got round it by putting tin foil under the mat to reflect some of the heat up towards the tub .

    I've read about one bloke who put a magazine under the heat mat just to reduce the gap between the mat rub ....
