Even a web search revealed nothing about what you're supposed to do with this tape. I put it on the heat pads and will hope for the best. I'd suggest putting it down on the heating pads where you think you'll want the most heat.

I'm not sure, but I used it on the end that I had to cut; folded it over the cut end. It doesn't stick very well, so I'm not sure if it really does any good. These seat heaters are AWESOME! Very hot; feels really good on my back. My husband and I have installed 4 of them in our cars, and plan to buy two more for a truck we just got. The install is really pretty easy; there are videos out there on youtube, if you need better instruction.

This type of heater is normally used for a battery or oil pan, transmission pan etc. not really meant for pipes, if you need to keep pipes from freezing "heat tape" with a built in heat control, might want to check with electrician or plumber they both install this type unit.

This product is a highly efficient thermal transfer interface material, to be effective, you would need something to transfer the heat to. I do not think you would find any significant difference using this on its own.

I was wondering the same thing. The "rubber" look like pieces of heat shrink. The white tape is velcro.

This is a conductive gel. This is applied so that you can reuse electrodes, it keeps them sticky.

You must be confused about what this is...it is to put on a pot on the stove that might boil over. Keeps it from boiling over, it doesn't seal anything.

The heater tape itself is relatively waterproof but the connector plug must be kept dry. I would place some insulating material between the duct tape and the heating strip......

I put the wrap on the muffler as well as the pipe. The purpose is keep anything that will come in contact with a hot header or muffler. My muffler gets really hot as well , because it is only 14" from the motor. I secured the wrap with some clamps on both sides otherwise the wrap will come off. I know there is also a enamel spray you can use too. I have not used it, but it is to help keep the wrap from drying out and securing better to pipe. I hope this helps?

You don't HAVE to do anything. I did tape all around my light because I wanted to protect the paint around my light. And, if you'd rather use another kind of tape than the one provided, go right ahead. I used the tape provided because it a) was included and, b) because it wouldn't damage the paint around my light.

I don't use this product on pipes... So I don't know. I think this product is to prevent the heat on what I have covered with the tape. On pipes I believe is reverse, prevent heat get out from pipes to other surfaces.

I bought the tape for my husband, and he is using for different purposes. Why not test it out on an old frame? Joyce

Double stick tape. Seems to work well. Clean well first. Haven't had any trouble with mine!

I've never used it for heat tape or heat mats, only for lights, but I suppose if the probe is in a spot where it can get a good reading of the temp then it should be fine. If all the cages need to be the same temp you can plug in multiple plugs into the controller. But it only has one probe. Good luck. :)

I would find a tape especially for electrical purposes, because of its aluminum qualities it has the potential to conduct even a small ammount of electricity. The 3m websites also states it's good for shielding but they refer to heat not electricity.one thing you could do is lay electrical tape on top of your electronics and then lay this tape on top .

I have no idea. It's a top coat/ finish and it says to keep away from heat or flame. Email the manufacturer.

We got for heat resistance so not sure it would work for what you want. It is strong but thin. I think i would try duck tape for what you want comes in every color now.
