Can I mount the blanket and then put a 2" thick stroyfoam pad next to it without it melting?

The directs say the following, " It is recommended that spray-foam insulation be used to cover all tank heaters after installation. ....... other types of insulation may be used as long as edges are securely taped to keep out moisture."

I wish I could help you. It doesn't get that cold normally down here, so I didn't put any thing over it. But, I thought about doing that too.Dave

The could be use for installation. The problem is the pad is not very thick

I'm no expert, but I think it would melt if it were close to the heat source, such as on a wall heater. It is made of very thin plastic. I wouldn't risk it.

Sure you could...either hem with needle and thread or use duct tape. Will look like crap but it could work if you don't care what it looks like. BTW...this is not a very large blanket so if cut in half will be very small / short. Would not recommend doing this unless you have a very compelling reason to alter the blanket.

I'm not completely sure, as I've always used a pad on top of my 4 inch foam topper, but I would think it would. The quilted pad adds a buffer between you and the foam to help disperse heat. At least from my experience.

I think you could. The fabric is a very nice, thick, quality fabric. If it turns out to be a little light or chilly, you could always put a light blanket within.

That would depend on how thick your fleece pad is, probably a thin pad would work best. I use a towel and it does transfer heat using just under the highest setting.

I wouldn't. You could perhaps cut an inch or 2 off each side and refinish the edges on a sewing machine, if you know what you're doing. The magnets on sewn in between the fabric like a pocket as you can see in the photo. The problem is that there are 3 magnets across the top and 3 cross the bottom and the are not all the same distance from the edge. one magnet is 3 inches from the edge, one is 2.5, and one is as close an inch from the edge. We are very happy with the blanket although we bought 2 more magnets from the hardware store to put on each side . I hope that I've answered your question.

You can apply heat on the low setting . no problem. It won't melt at all.. And, NO gooey plastic mess, either!

Yes, but leave plenty of clearance on sides because it does get hot. You don't want to melt anything or start a fire. :)

This has a very plush pad, but I cannot recommend it because it melted in the dryer the first time that we washed it. We were very careful and used the lowest heat setting, so unless you plan to air dry it, I would probably try the other choice.

This blanket is not for indoors but inside of you vehicle. I would try Cabelas.

Yes, it is pretty much just a blanket that holds heat and acts like the insulation in your house. If you have an old army blanket (wool) that would probably work as well. The pet crate pad is just less bulky.

No. It is made of Styrofoam and would melt if heated. It keeps already heated items warm. I use it for biscuits and rolls and it keep them warm perfectly.

Yes u can. That is the kind that I use in mine. It just might take a little longer to melt but once it is melted, all is well.

No. It is to divert heat from source. Not for wrapping the heated surface. You might want a insulated blanket or a wrap that's rated for high heat for your application.

It could hinder it some. Mine still works with the winter setup of sheet, two blankets, and comforter, though my comforter isn't heavy. If you have a footboard, you could drape the comforter over that when you use the fan...
