using heat cables

I have a chrome wire 5 shelf unit that I have placed shop lights in and want to use for seed germination. I saw a set-up where they just wound a heating cable on the wire shelf and set the flats directly on the cable. Can you do that? I thought the cables needed to be buried in sand and the flats set on top of the sand. But if it would work, (with a thermostat) it would be much easier to do. Does anyone have any experience with using cables this way?
