I'm one of the ones who built the rack with the two supports (Had to do with the materials I had available) so I don't have the deep pocket Markus Jayne says you need. I had trouble with my heat because of it. I finally got some foil insulation ($13 for a roll that was enough to do 3 racks and have leftover)at the hardware store. Take the heat tape off the back, put on the insulation, then put the heat tape on that. The foil insulation is thin, it keeps the heat IN the rack, and it conducts the heat all the way across for a nice even heat in the back of the tub.



Worked for me. Good luck!
