Anyone else having the problem of Zoo Med UTH curling up and falling off due to the drying of the adhesive?
Does anyone have any experience with other brands that may not have thhis problem?
I am changing all my heating to RHPs, but until I am done I'm still using the UTH, and if they are falling off the glass bottom, they are really kind of worthless. I need some quicky replacements, and want ideas about various brands.
Any help?

Thanks
Bob

Bob,
Just Duct tape them back on. Unless there is something actually wrong with the pad the Duct tape will hold till you replace them.

Good Luck

How about aluminum tape? Or would this get too hot?

It might work but I have never used it before. When last I used UTH I can't honestly remember the bottom of the pad getting that hot that Duct wouldn't hold. In fact I clearly remember using Duct tape as a wee young lad. Currently I use a glass cloth foil tape, that I borrowed from work, it designed for use in space so it works real good.

Good Luck

Aluminum tape works fine too. I like it because it peels off leaving little residue, and the residue is easy to take off using the aluminum tape itself.
