Terry,
You just going around the world to get across the street.  Just order a
glue pot from Schaff or your favorite supply house.  Buy a candy/deep fry
thermometer to check.   If needed, remove a few screws and the pot
housing opens up and can be calibrated with a turn of a screw.  I've had
my pot 25 yrs or so and adjusted it once after it fell off the work
bench.

Thanks Roger. I've been won over. 

What methods do folks use to keep the water bath at 130 F? I have a Rival
Hot Pot (the one Bill Spurlock recommends). It has a little dial guage
that I have set to low. That was close to boiling, so I put the little
thingeemabobble thing in the plug that Schaff (or whoever) sells for
regulating the heat to a soldering iron for ironing key bushings and
whatnot (a reostat?). I set that on the lowest setting also, but the pot
held at a steady 140 F. Any recommendations? And I don't want to be
feeding it ice cubes every five minutes either! Thanks.
