dew heater band for 6 inch Mak

[dark star]

Hi, does anyone have a recommendation for a  dew band for a 6 inch mak corrector? I have already wrapped the Mak in reflective material and added a camping mat to extend the dew sheild. It is an Intes MK66.  This would be for when the temperature is at our below zero, as it was recently.

I am hoping not to need a dew band for the corrector when it is not as cold. I have a Kendrick dew heater controller.

I was  concerned to read a couple of posts about dew bands catching on fire! However, this appears to happen mostly after a couple of years of frequent use. I only use my Mak occasionally for planets. I use my 12 inch dobsonian a lot more, as I am mainly interested in deep sky. I may try to figure out how to add fuses for the dew heater bands, as some people have done this.
