I have never put mine on the heat cord , I always put mine on the middle shelf or a few above the middle , on one end of the shelf and about 20-30mm from the heat cord , I find it is much more stable with the temps this way
You would be best to rout a groove in the shelf and put the cord in there. Then the tubs just sit on top of it and you can pull them in and out easily
l don't run a thermostat at all as l have two separate heat cords in each rack, one on in summer with a timer so as its off between midday and four o'clock and two heat cords in winter with one off by a timer during the same [warm] hours of the day the other on twenty four hours a day, works great in all my racks ....solar 17 [Baden]
i sit mine in the middle enclosure slightly (2cm ish)away from the cords and i find this works great
Most probably melamine. Not built yet so there aren't any pics.
Anyone got pics of their racks showing how the cable of the thermostat probe is ran into the tub?
regards,
C.J.
On my larger melamine racks I run the probe into the back of the tub, near the top and then use a hot glue gun to stick the probe in place hanging down just off the floor of the tub. I run the probe in from the front and long the side of the tub so I can still fully remove the tub for cleaning.
