How can I use heat cable in melamine rack?

You can find shower board at Home Depot in the trim section. It's a masonite product and you can get it just flat and white and shiny, or you can get it made to look like four inch white tile. Look in the section where the paneling, like you would use in a basement is.

okay thank you very much!do you think that nailing it to the melamine with skinny nails will work?and how much for how big of sheet is the showerboard?thanks again!

less than $20 per sheet, you can get paneling ring shank nails in the same section, or in the fasteners section. You could screw it, but it's not as pretty, and the masonite stuff tends to mushroom apart when you try stuff like that sometimes.

Use a router to cut a channel for the cable to sit in.
