well i wish you no-cb
using ceramique.....heat the pot with a hairdryer/torch....so the ceramique will flatten...frozen ceramique is frozen

................thermometer read 40C..pretty much the ceramique is very soft already
....try to have a good feel first of temps.....use core-temp(or bios temp) and thermometer....if the difference is more than 10c...you have to remount....start observing temps @ 0c.....so don't pour too much dice...
