so set the plastic tote on a steel beam? i was thinking duct tape cant duct tape with stand high temps? (though pads dont give a high temp but just point as in if it can withstandhigh temps pad would be noproblem)
i was gonna use duct tape but wanted to ask first.
i think i know what you mean by steel beam but her tote is curved on bottom (heatingpad spot is completely flat its just edges that are curved)

ok i went and put duct tape under just one good sized strip and now i have it sitting in spot ill get alot better airflow under the tote so that might of been part problem with it falling off in first place.

duct tape, or foil tape.. i use foil tape for everythign related to heating pat/heat tape!
Foil tape is conductive, keep it the hell away from anything that has electricity in it.

I would not use duct tape. It warps and makes EVERYTHING sticky. Use foil tape (also known as aluminum tape).
DON'T use aluminum tape.
Let the other idiots burn down their houses.
Use duct tape.

You can always use electrical tape...less messy than duct tape.
