Heating cables How To?

Hello All!

Last year I started my seeds indoors to soon.  But because of my 
cool basement temperatures germination took up to 4 times as long
as indicated on the package.  Which I guess was good last year,
started too early then a cool wet spring... 

I looked into leaving plants on top of the fridge.  With a themometer
I found hardly any temperature difference from the house, which I keep
around 66.  (newer fridge)  Top of the water heater was out,
Gas water heater and just a few inches from the flue will melt plastic.

This year I picked up some heating cables to heat my seedling area.
But the trays I have been using plastic drip trays with 6 packs on top
are specifically indicated as a not to do by the cable maker.

Those of you who warm start your plants, who do you do it what
kind of trays do you use.  Or should I just make a few wooden flats?

Thanks in Advance.
