You should be measuring the glass underneath the substrate. The substrate could be 92 degrees on top, but that could mean that the glass has to 100+ to get the top of the substrate that hot.
V1L3 DiaL3cT, is the heat source getting up to the temperatue the herpstat says?
And everyone knows you can calibrate the herpstat to display the correct temperature, right?
It's not a big deal, just much further off than anyone expected.
