Try the wide (silver metal) heat tape. You can get like 2" wide stuff from H. Depot for pretty cheap. I have used it to restick heat mats around the edges. Run it all the way around the perimeter of the heating mat

Also, I like to cover the surface behind or underneath the heatmat with it. I like because it seems to reflect the heat better and protect the surface its on too.

Just use Aluminum foil tape (it is used in the heating/cooling industry and withstand the temps of the pad). You can find it at home improvements stores, Wal-Mart or online. This is what most use to hold down their flexwatt in homemade racks and stuff.

Hope this helps.
