What's INSIDE a Kendrick Dew heater ?

So - before I go and hack up a perfectly good heater, does anyone know what
is inside these and if it would be possible to use without the fabric
covering ?

Could try a 'pussy warmer' from your local pet shop;-) Aparently they're as good as superglue for moggies.

In the past, I heated a piece of optics in some industrial equipment, with
'heating tape', from 'Amptek'. The units are specified to give vaious
wattages at 120v, but for my application, I only wanted a couple of watts,
so (given that they will give approximately 1/100th the heat at this
voltage -ignoring resistance changes in the wire from heating), I ran the
nominally 208W unit from 12v (this is about 9" long), to give the heat I
required. These tapes, and some other similar units, seemed to be readily
available from laboratory equipment suppliers. This was a sort of silicon
rubber 'strip' about half an inch wide. It was though about $40 at the
time...
