Re: heating pad keeps popping off
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)

Re: heating pad keeps popping off

Re: heating pad keeps popping off
Foil tape is conductive, keep it the hell away from anything that has electricity in it.

Re: heating pad keeps popping off
I would not use duct tape. It warps and makes EVERYTHING sticky. Use foil tape (also known as aluminum tape).

Re: heating pad keeps popping off
DON'T use aluminum tape.
Let the other idiots burn down their houses.
Use duct tape.

Re: heating pad keeps popping off
You can always use electrical tape...less messy than duct tape.
