Do any of yall think a under pad heater would burn through a big plastic tote thats see through??
I can’t speak for all heating pads, but I have used a few different varieties and never had a problem. I say go for it.Do any of yall think a under pad heater would burn through a big plastic tote thats see through??
Thanks man i say it wont either it gets hott but not scortching hott haha..I can’t speak for all heating pads, but I have used a few different varieties and never had a problem. I say go for it.
I always keep in mind that a piece of paper won't ignight till it reaches 451F. If your goal is to reach about 90F, and the heatmat may only get to say 120F underneath the sweaterbox or aquarium, there is a long way to go before anything serious could happen. But it is still recomended that there is some airflow around the heatmat, I ussually lay a piece of cardboard that is cut to fit around the mat under the container. ~ Rex
