Thanks Bob - Sorry if I am a bit thick but what is Epoxy? I thought that was glue?

Bob: " Epoxy is also avilable as a 2 part liquid or as a one part paint. The two part is preffered for heavy coatings. Yes it is also a high tech glue. Probably the easy way is at your hardware paint department Let us all know how it worked for you. Significant capacity water heat and control is a frequent problem. among brewing operations. Bob

Dip coat 2 coats in Epoxy up to and include the fittings to the suspending cord. might work. Never turn it on unless submerged. It may still get so hot it destroys the Epoxy. Bob

copper heating element. Copper, I understand from earlier postings is
toxic to bacteria.

Before I send it back and incur another two week wait, can anyone hazard
a guess if it would be OK to paint the element in a heat resistant paint
to cover the copper?

Thanks
