I have heat tape for belly heat on the bottom of my BP's sterilite container. Unfortunately I'm having a problem with it coming off all the time. I'm using black wire tape to hold it on, which will work for a while, but then the heat tape eventually comes off in certain spots. Plus, the bottom on the outside is uneven. Lots of grooves that I have to weave the tape in and out of. Anyway, can anybody here recommend a tape to use that is safe but sticks alot better than regular old wire tape? Is it possible that there is some kind of coating on the sterilite that makes it harder for the tape to stick to it? I just want to make sure this stops happening because obviously when it comes off like this, not as much heat gets inside the container in those spots. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank You!
