germinating on a heating pad?

[JS58272938]

I know this sounds stupid, but my wife is insane and keeps it around 65-68 degrees in the house at all times, an i cant find a warm spot in the house that will germinate my seeds. I came up with the idea of putting the covered tray on a heating pad to keep it warm, Will this work? Or will it get too hot? I would say on the lowest setting it is probably around 90 degrees. Is that too hot? Ive tried on top of the fridge (typically a warm place) on top of the dryer...to no avail. Would the heating pad work? I germinated my last seeds while she was visiting her sister for a week i had the heat cranked up to 78 lol, i was sweating my *** off!

90s gona cook those seeds - layer it with a towel and test the temps. 78F is a nice goal. I'm doing the same - heat pad on low with one towel folded in 4 and got a plate with a dome on top of that and inside the dome it says 78.... experiment. you might not need as much underneath but you probably need something covering the top if the rooms that chilly. My ambient temps are 70-74 in the room....
