I hate oil baths. Try a foil tee-pee. Wrap one edge of a sheet of foil around the neck(s) and then drape it like a skirt down to the plate. They can get extremely hot and provide an even heat source, but they can also be removed instantly if something is running away.
The derp moments, I have had enough of those! I think most of the people on here who are actually busy with chemistry at home will have had a good number of them.
this is an awesome video, i had no idea you had to hydrolyze the 2-ethyl-hexanol so long!
