I am researching silicone heat blankets and was quoted by a company in Australia for one 400x1800mm 2800 watts with thermocouple for $1600.00 AUD which is $1240.00 US. This seems very expensive to me.

I second MEI, they are very good on their word. They messed up an order of mine and sent me corrected versions for free!

I quoted a few companies. Michaels, Hi-Heat, and Conrad for a 14" X 70". Michaels was the cheapest by over $100. The other two were about the same. i havent received the blanket yet but I hear good things about em on the forums.
