I actually thought along that line before. If it were a
regular color blind emulsion, that may be fine, but I am
reluctant to do that for an infrared sensitive emulsion.
Plus, it's more effective to warm the plate rather than the
rod.

I talked to an engineer today. He suggested to look FSC Direct
or Small Parts catalogue for threaded plastic rods. I wonder
if Martin already looked there before.
