[QUOTE=Graham Freeman;2014800]
Am I expecting to much with just immersing in a jug of boiling water?

The ice water part is important !

Ignore if you are doing that already but. If you are not it is very helpful as it accelerates the expansion-contraction of the gauge fluid .

If it registers half at boiling just remember that .
A bit low but it still works .
