I use a water bath. I use plastic beakers to hold the chemicals and water
baths in a plastic tub containing water of the proper temperature
(actually slightly higher to allow for cool down) and let the solutions
reach the proper temperature. Another interesting thing that happens with
the onset of cooler weather is the ability to set the room temperature at
the desired processing temperature (yes, I am single so no thermostat wars
to worry about) :-) and the bottles of distilled water and the chemicals
are at the desired processing temperature before I even begin.
