I've been looking for a cheap contraption to use as a hide glue pot. Others have suggested milk warmers and depilatory wax warmers. All the Australian sites either wanted too much or insisted on a minimum spend.
I've found a cheapy wax warmer on eBay:
Wax Paraffin Heater Warmer Hard Strip Waxing 400ml Pot | eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250861402452#ht_2178wt_6188)
It took 4 weeks to get here from China/Hong Kong but it heats water up to 80 degrees Celcius on maximum setting so I'm crossing my fingers it will be okay.
Tonight I have my hide glue soaking in an equal volume of water. Tomorrow I'll melt/dissolve the glue and see how it goes.
