I finally found it!!

The sticker on the tote says "Clever Latch" for those who are having trouble finding this model...

Anyway....I'm building now.

Got the rubbermaid and light fixture, S-hooks and screws for light all for $20!

dan, you are most certainly the man!

Dan, in another post I asked if anyone had had issues with heating rubbermaids and heard that I should use Heat tape w/dimmer and/or thermostat.

I noticed you said you were using a UTH and wondered what size (for your large rubbermaid) and whether you're having any issues maintaining proper temps.

i think its 11"wide by 12" long and 20watts seems to be heating pretty good only problem is the cool side gets a little too cool but thats because i keep my house temp at like 65

and its on a dimmer

did you follow the typical "how to wire your rheostat" instructions seen in other posts here? If so, I'll just do the same....

Also, do you have problems with the self-adhesive sticking to the plastic? Mine won't seem to stay on completely

[dan2492]

yeah
i have one stuck on the plastic and seems to hold fine but that was a store bought one the others i just put in between and it seems to be working good

I never use the sticky part. I just leave the backing on. I am always changing things around so I don't want to risk ruining the heat tape by peeling it off.
I am thinking about building a bare-bones rack setup using your idea, dan. If I get it together I will put a post up so you can see what I mean.
