Rack system for newborn milks

[ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followup ] [ The Milk Snake Forum ]

Posted by toppy on February 20, 2003 at 15:13:09:

I recently built a rack system for this years baby milks.
I have a couple of questions and hope that someone with experience with these could help. my rack is 24" x 24"
It contains 10 shoe box size rubbermaid containers on 5 racks.
My wood working skills are not the best and I had considered using the rack lid less. How much space is too much when trying to keep a newborn milk in the container? I have one rack that has 1/8 of an inch or maybe alittle more between the top of the box and the next shelf. will this be enough for a baby to escape?
Also Im using a 11" flexwatt heat tape down the back wall vertically with an electronic herp thermostat from big apple herps. What do people attach the flexwatt with? some use silver tape, some ose silicone, or how about liquid nail?
Thanks for the help
Chris
