Safety: FlexWatt v. Heat Cord?

[Ltucker]

Trying to decide on rack system -- Assuming a Ranco or Johnson thermostat, is heat cable inherently safer (for my animals, for my home) than flexwatt?

Never mind -- have read enough now to know the answer. Tnx.

You'll hear stories about both...

Neither was originally manufactured for long term continued use.
