Re: Need some advise

I sandwich THG heat tape between ceramic tiles, using silicone around the edges for an adhesive and to keep it waterproof. The tiles transmit heat well, and are easy to clean. I also add a bit of aluminum tape to the bottom to reflect the heat upwards, but I'm not sure if that really makes any difference. You just need a way to adjust the current (rheostat, dimmer, thermostat) and adjust accordingly.
