As far as I know, all waste tanks in a typical class C & B+ are completely exposed to the elements. A Super C might be different. Because it is so, many manufactures fully insulate their heated waste tanks.
Since you are down under gluing & taping, why not add a 1/4" thick silver-backed insulation blanket in the process so the heating pad is so much more effective? You can buy such insulation by the roll, cheap at home improvement centers. Between contact cement (or special 2-sided tape) and single-sided EternaBond tape, it won't go anywhere.
Don't forget to insulate the top of the tank as best you can. The better the coverage, the better the heat is retained inside.
