I saw how you did yours OzAaron, thanks. I'm planning to do the same. But the thermistor you bought is already encapsulated in a glass or epoxy coating of sorts (the orange stuff), while mine is lacking protection now since I broke off the brittle epoxy. So I'm wondering if I should dip the thing in some sort of hardening epoxy before sticking it in the copper tube filled with thermal paste, or just stick it in the copper tube as is.
