The flexwatt has a thick mylar coating on it ( you tape the open end and the end with the wires needs to be sealed...so no it is not open wires.

Let me know if you have other questions.
Try to avoid classic eletrical tape though. As mentioned above, with belly heat, there will be significant wear on the tape from bins sliding in and out constantly. My friend got a very good zap from an exsposed contact point once, so be careful.
