    Where to put the hot glue

    Where do you guys put glue on the probes inside the enclosure, like can I cover the whole probe with hot glu or you don't want to cover the front?

    I personally cover right at the end of the line where the probe starts but not on the probe at all. I don't like the idea of it acting as an isolator.

    Well if the probe is covered in a coating of glue it will not be able to read the temps correctly.
