An easier way to heat a home made incubator is to use a submersible
aquarium heater. These have a built in thermostat. Get a low wattage
one, e.g. 25 or 50 watts, and put it in a covered plastic box with a
volume of at least a few liters in the incubator. Fill the box with
water. This will give very even heating, but it may take a couple of
days to get it equilibrated to just the right temperature. The air
temp in the incubator will be a few degrees cooler than the water
temperature.
