Hmmm.... this one doesn't seem to have a sticky side or I would have guessed
that to be the one that sticks to the glass. (LOL) it's laminated and the
directions say to stick it to the glass with double-face tape or with some
"other adhesive" and refers to the "back" of the pad, but doesn't say which
side that is (and there is no writing on the pad itself to help with the
decision). The directions also warn against using more than 1/4" of any
substrate over the pad for risk of fire. Is this the same product you were
using with the ceramic tile over it? I had intended to stick the pad to a
piece of slate, but after reading the directions I got rather worried that
this would be a bad idea..
Oh, the size I have is the 11" x 17"... that might make a difference too.
Maybe the smaller sized one is self-adhesive like the old "under tank
heaters" that we've all used and abused in the past.
You know, this is actually a topic we haven't explored much on the list.
We've beaten the "hot rock" topic quite a bit... but not the under tank/heat
tape products. I'd be interested in exploring this topic more.
