    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Flexwatt & Melamine, compatable?

I'm planning on building a 3 cage setup out of 3/4" melamine shelving that I have. Will flexwatt be enough to heat these, or do I need to figure out a way to add heat lamps? And yes, they will be hooked up to a thermostat, probably Helix because I'm familiar with them.

Flexwatt works fine with melamine, I've had a number of racks and cages made out of melamine that I've heated with flexwatt. The only problem I had was once with overheating when the rheostat that I was using to regulate the heat tape was bumped or something causing the heat tape to work full power.

Thanks. I thought it would be sufficient, but wanted to make sure. This will be the first time I've used flexwatt with melamine and wanted to be sure it would be warm enough.

Thanks again! :)
