Guessing again a 1w/mm2 heat load and that his brass die has a height of about 20mm, If he tests a cheasy heatsink that's only cappable of keeping the die surface at 60ºC, the base of the brass die is going to be at 227ºC! Things are going to be worst than that at the cartridges un the aluminium base.
That would make it pretty difficult to insulate, no?
