Thanks!!
Yes, but my friend (customer) has too much money and far too much time
and likes to tinker in order to save money.  LOL.

To which I had to explain to him about a "Tinkers Dam" and how
it might be used to fix his hole.  Which now has created a
whole other Off Topic thingie.........................

I was think about suggesting to him to try a sheet metal screw
with an amount of PC-7 Epoxy.  Can't be any worse than other
suggested fixes.

***************************

Most epoxies soften and degraded to much with heat.  Maybe the water will
keep it within its safe zone, but a teflon gasket inside the pot under the
screw head might do the trick.  There it will be surrounded by water and
should never get above its degradation temperature.  I have some 1/4" teflon
rod if you want a small piece to play with.  I use it as hot casting cores
when stainless creates bad castings by wicking away heat to fast.
