As some of you are aware I've been selling all my vivs, I have put my whole collection into rubs to save space.
Now I have taped the thermostat probe to the heatmat is this correct, even with the stat on full im getting temps of 30-31 hot end which is a couple of degrees to cold imo
Thanks Danny |

Same here;
Where is the thermometer probe?
How long have you had the setup running? Sometimes it can take a few hours or even a day or two to shake down |

Ill add some pictures later, my setup is not complete yet, I currently just have the rubs stacked up on each other, im ordering a unit from Ikea over the next couple of weeks,
I can't see any reason why it would not be safe it seems safer to me,

| i would imagine so but electricians tape would be best as it can withstand higher temps, I've used it for a year now and never had to replace it |
