Hi All,

Getting cold out here, snow on the ground overnight.
I probably should put this on a woodworking group, but
I like to always ask here first as you guys seem to be
able to cover more/every topic.

I am using a water-based glue to assemble a large wooden
project and I am brushing on the glue with a 2" paint brush.

I need to be able to keep the paint pot warm. I am thinking
of an immersion heater with thermostat for about 100F. I am
thinking that if I have say, 3" of water in the bottom of
the heater pot, I can then sit the glue pot in that and
convection will do the rest for the glue in the inner pot.

Anyone know of a cheap 110v immersion heater with fixed
or (adjustable) thermostat I can use to make this pot-
warmer? I picked up an old lead melting pot at a yard sale
for $5, but it does not go down low enough and the water
boils away in about 10-minutes. I also tried our electric
kettle, (don't tell momma {gasp}) but same again, it has
no "warm," setting.

I also found some heaters for science labs but I'd have
to re-mortgage the house for one.

Thanks

1) used crock pot from the second hand shop?
2) Harvest an aquastat from a home heating boiler
3) Thermostat from electric water heater off the
curb
