thanks |
it should reach 85. and what i did was put two lengths of the cable running alongside each other about 6 inches apart, and sat them on top of a strip of cooking foil. it spreads the heat out a bit too.

no i just laid it on top of the foil, on the shelf. aye, i used the proper stuff, you get three different lengths. and i have seen it advertised on online rep shops but your local shop might have it too. my local uses it on the hatchling racks.
