You should get a styrofoam cooler and put your heatbomb in so it doesn't directly touch it.

???
dont insulate your heatbomb...

in my experience, the jars that were touching the heatbomb got really dried out. you want it to heat the surrounding air, not the substrate.

I use a 7.5watt heater in an insulated styrofoam cooler to get a constant 85F temperature.

It took a little tweaking to get the water level right for the perfect temps.

Yes, it will. So don't do it.

BTW, a few hints about heatbombs:

* Use a plastic bottle. Glass insulates too well.

* They seem to work better when laying down (as opposed to standing up).

* They're much better at maintaining temps than changing them. So (a) use an insulated container like a styrofoam or Igloo cooler and (b) try not to keep them open too long.
