Thomas,

Thanks again.  One tip that may be helpful for you:  If you are using
a basic lab hot plate, by putting a block of aluminum that is about
1/2 inch thick on top you can buffer the temperature variations quite
a bit.  It takes a bit longer to heat it up, but the variation is
reduced substantially and results may be more consistent.
