dew heater strip - guidance required

I'm putting together a dew system for my C8, never had one before so not sure about how hot they should get. I am using a PWM controller with 12v battery supply. I'm using a Kendrick dew remover strip, with the controller at 1/3 turn it gets warm, 2/3 quite hot, full on too hot to hold for very long. That is all with the Kendrick dew remover strip loose on the bench not on the scope.

What is the technique, start low and work up until no dew forms? Is it possible to damage the corrector plate by putting the Kendrick dew remover strip too high?

Any guidance would help
