has the glue in it) in a tea cup with water in the tea cup. 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 =
insert might vary a bit because it is so much closer to the heat source.
