19.25 in. (width of shelf the heat tape must cover) x 6 (number of shelves) = 115.5 in.
6.25 in. (height of shelves) x 6 (amount of times the heat tape will be taped to the sides) = 37.5 in.
115.5 in. + 37.5 in. = 153 in.
i will need at least 153 in. of heat tape to cover all the area i need to.
sorry, another question for ya taylor :/ Do you have to cut a groove for the heat tape also, how do you cut it in PVC, use a router bit???? I mean, it really should be fine comming into contact with the bottom of the rubbermaid containers, right?
