i have been looking into cable. i noticed in one picture that it looks like you have joined 2 levels together.
do you have to keep it as one cable or can you keep it as level joined to level ?
sorry if i dont make sense ive had a couple of bottles of wine.if i dont could you pls pm me as i have a home made rack that im looking to heat and am considering cables as it is cheaper than matts.

thanks lee

One cable does 2 levels in one piece and it is much cheaper than heat mats i ordered 5 for 26.50 delivered and yes i routed the grooves out but you can use a circular saw just set the depth of cut to the thickness of the cable it works just as well.
