I used the crock pot as a bouble boiler by floating another bowl with the glue in the water in the crock pot. Works well and doesn't get too hot in the time it takes to add a layer of sinew.

A good rule I use is if you cant hold your finger in it then it is to hot

Maybe to small, but what about a coffee mug heater...You can drink the coffee, so maybe not hot enough?

Tim Baker wrote in the TBB I that 140 is a good temp for gluing wood or veg fiber and 120 is good for sinew or other animal materials.
