<DIV><FONT face=Arial>No, no, no, no! That is one of the reasons I put =

The tea cup in turn sits in water in the aluminum sleeve that is part of =
the
glue pot. It would be virtually impossible for the water in the tea cup =
to be a
significantly different temperature than the baby-food jar with the =
glue. I
agree with you that the temperature of the water in the aluminum =

might vary a bit because it is so much closer to the heat =
