Don't use that to install your immersion heaters because after about 18 hours, it gets soft enough that it releases and your heater coils fall into the bath. Lots of moisture in the housing but I've dried it out and no damage appears to be done. I re-installed the coils using Superglue Gel and went around that with aquarium sealant. I think that should do the job.

In the hour or so I've been working on getting it disassembled, dried, repaired and re-set, I've lost about 12 degrees and my water bath is presently at 120. I don't expect it should be an issue but if anyone has a thought, I'd gladly listen.

Under 130 is in that danger zone and cannot pasteurize. What are you cooking?
