Attaching Heat Cable to Glass ???

Alright, so, I have a snake and I hate undertank Heat Cable to attach it to the glass. I at first used Duct Tape, which is fine under the heat, but I noticed that it pretty much dried up the tape and made it shrivel, so the cable isn't fully attached any more, in some parts its just hanging there. Does anyone hear have experience with this and have any idea's/opinions on how I should go about this? Thanks a lot.
 
They sell a foil tape made specifically for heating/air systems. Most department stores will sell it, definitely at Home Depot or the equivalent.
 
Well, duct tape is supposed to handle heat, but this heat is directly on the tape. Will this tape melt or do anything, such as let go of the cable due to the heat? Or will it resist the heat? Thanks a lot
 
Just for a reference, I did some research on Foil tape and the brand 3M is the best. Some of their tapes can withstand up to 600 degrees farenheit, but thats the highest, most of the others range from 180-300. which is good compared to everything else I saw @ Home Depot.
