I think a sick solution would be to put heating strips on copper plate thats soldered to copper mesh and coated with thermally conductive flexible polymer. With a insulator on top Pu foam cut into strips like plate mail armor Mc master sells heating strips that are adhesive backed. They are thick nichrome foil like a maze embedded in rubber. Would be a heavy skirt and press into stuff good |

I have built countless bed electric blankets / pads. All you need is nichrome wire and a sewing machine and you can make the size and shape you choose. I did not provide any thermostat and I made them powerful so I could get into a toasty bed. Spread out they worked fine but one day it was crumpled in a corner under the blankets and it started a fire. --- Quote from: AMK5405 on March 10, 2019, 04:02:14 pm --- The problem is with carbon fiber is the resistance isn't less than 15/20 AMPs. --- End quote --- I do not understand what this means. Why don't you use nichrome wire which is the standard for these things? |

Go down the path of Drum heaters. Most of the big guys in Element or Temperature control will be able to make you a custom one. In particular the silicone drum heaters would suit your glass application due to the flex.
