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?
You don't understand a word I have said about the clamp. I was saying remove the C part of the clamp and utilize the threaded part and the swiveling end on it and incorporate it into the design. Not use the C clamp itself. Most of it would be scraped. Just want the threaded part with the swivel end.
