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



When I make jewelry I use a flea market crock pot to heat my pickle. It

has a "warm" and a "hot" setting.

Preferably, pat your pickle to prevent poaching when performing this procedure.
