Like the title says, I'm wondering if I can use this heating element on a magnetic stirrer.

I have one in my terrarium, it goes underneath the glass and the temperature above the glass reaches about 90 degrees or so. The pad itself is very thin, about as thick as a playing card but I don't know if it would interfere with the magnet ( "Contains solid-state nichrome heating element" ) If not, could anyone suggest an alternative?

Also a somewhat related question, would more time stirring with the magnetic stirrer without heat make up for the lack of heat? If that's the case, then that nulls out my first question.

Thanks in advance and sorry for all the questions.

I doubt it would interfere with the magnet, though this is purely speculation. Would be a good setup for recrystallizing or dissolving/mixing.

Alright thanks, it's not a big investment so I might just order it and try it out. I would test with the one I have, but it's attached with fairly strong adhesive to my gecko tank.
