No no no...
In order for that to work, you'd have to have the same pivoting head at both the bottom (under the block) and on top of the die. Otherwise, the block might end up being pressed up against the heat die with some lateral force. That lateral force is going to return different results, if there's any curvature (convex) to the block (or god forbid, the die).
Can ya'll picture it, or am I just blabbing away here?
Try it: use that big clamp, with handles on both sides, and press them together: they won't end up perfectly perpendicular to the axis of the screw arm, I guarantee it.
Right idea though... So, silicone tubing?
