xxxstr8edgexxx- I was wondering why you are doing this for 3 hours? I'm finding thirty minutes is recommended. 110.3 for broad mites and 111.0 for some nematodes. Keeping the temperature constant is the challenge in warm water, insulation should help. I was able to keep cuttings at 109 degrees-111.5 degrees for thirty minutes yesterday, should be a reasonably good test of warm water tolerance. Watched the cuttings for the full half hour with two thermometers to make sure of the high and low temps
Hydroflasks are vacuum insulated and would help on keeping temps consistent. REI stocks them. Colds stay cold and hots stay hot the entire day. http://www.hydroflask.com/products/hydro-flask-insulated-water-bottle-32oz-large
