Flex Watt Wiring and Mounting: Part 3 (by IncubatorWarehouse.com) Flexwatt

The key is to get the best surface area contact as you can with what you are trying to warm. A few small bumps shouldn't be too bad, but if it's preventing a lot of the contact from happening, that could be an issue. Most often, but putting your container on top of the heat tape, it flattens it enough to give you all the contact you need.

is it ok if your heat tape has humps in it ? mines all layed out and taped and it has a few humps that wont come out

Wal-Mart also has foil tape if you can't find it hardware stores.

Hmm, seems odd. I know that Lowes and Home Depot in my area both carry it. It's in the duct work section since it's normally used with the HFAC systems in your house.

We tried 3 different hardware stores in my area and none of them knew what foil tape was. Where do you get it?

Thank you so much for this informative video. We bought a 4 shelf breeding rack with flexwatt heat tape running down the sides and across the bottom in an S- shape, so that only one piece of taped needed to be used (thats how we got it). We have a thermostat hooked up to it and the thermostat works well. Unfortunately the flexwatt siezed up and burnt holes in the bottom of 2 of my rubbermaid tubs, and I shut it down. The tape may have touched could this have led to my problem?
