I think we once discussed this -- check the archives.
I'll repeat what I do--put a couple of heating pads in heavy zip-top
baggies, turn the pads on low, and set the seed flats on top. I make
sure that water does NOT get on the pads. All under adjustable lights
suspended from the rafters in the basement--the flats are on the famous
ex-college days desk of a door propped up on each end with cheap metal
shelves. Maybe the heating wires of an electric blanket would be too far
apart to heat a flat--and I think heating pads are more amenable to have
something on them ( the electric blanket booklets warn against having
anything on top).
