DIY Hatchling Rack

I don't know if this really qualifies as DIY, but it could be helpful to others.

I work at a grocery store and always come up with crazy ideas to reuse some of the store fixtures. This was one of those cardboard displays at the end of every aisle...now it's my new hatchling rack. It holds 48 large delis, 72 small delis or 54 sandwich containers. All I need is some FlexWatt and I'm good to go.

Good to see your hatchlings are all natural, with no trans fat.

Is it that much riskier than putting FlexWatt on wood?

Not really sure which is risker to be honest. Just seems to me that cardboard has a much easier way of catching fire than wood.

I don't know if it has been tested, but I am sure paper would ignite faster than wood? I am sure the flash points are out there on the web somewhere

Ignition of paper occurs at 451*F, average wood is around 570*F...

Sorry, I wasn't picking! I don't know if it is riskier. I would just be very cautious, that's all. All you need is one arc and it could be a problem.

Sorry but :cheers:

No worries...I was curious too. I'm still thinking of other heating ideas anyways. Maybe I'll just put the whole "rack" next to the window (avoiding direct sunlight) and let it heat naturally. We'll have to wait and see...
