Guys.....I'm glad others are picking
up on this.  Keep in mind, I cut off
the portion that has the socket-thing
on it.  The point is to get the band
pushing out against the inside of the
heating chamber to improve heat transfer.
Anything you can do to get the heat away
from the band, and preferably to the walls
of the chamber is the objective.  I use
a big socket that fits snugly, which also
helps to push the heater against the walls.

Good Luck,
Wayne
