My sticky is unstuck!

Quick question! I had to move the underheater quite a bit when William was being "de-mite-ified" and I am afraid it has lost it's stickiness! Is there anything you would recomend to re-stick it? Since it gets so hot I don't want to fume the poor guy out, or use something that will burn and smoke...

Hello,

If you are going to use anything, I would suggest aluminum tape. Truth be told, it is VERY unsafe to use anything to reattach the mats once they have been removed. Your best and safest bet would be to purchase another mat!

Hmmm... I will try the aluminum tape for now. Truth be told I honestly cannot afford a new heater, I'm having some job issues, and am dealing with a reptile supply that refuses to take back a bad thermostat they sold me without making me pay almost the cost of the item in restocking and shipping fees... not to mention that I will now have to replace the item. Gah! I love my baby, but since I bought him I have had more problems...

Thank you for the help!

I always keep extra UTHs and MVBs around just in case something happens and I need a backup
