Having figured out the dual-thermistor circuit, I made a small mold from cut-up credit card-ish things, laid down a layer of JB Weld epoxy, and positioned the thermistor assembly just above it:
A generous dollop of epoxy filled in the rest of the mold and it cured overnight:
Extract the final result, file off the rough edges, and then epoxy it to the thermal block:
And then it’s all good!
The thermal resistance from aluminum-to-thermistor seems to be no big deal compared with the thermal inertia of the block and Peltier module.

Nice soldering on the MOSFET Ed, the deserve to be sleeved or some heat shrink tubing!
Ah, but remember what’s going on here: apart from this first poor crash-test dummy, those MOSFETs will be soldered to the wires, screwed to the block, tested, and then returned to the heap: 15 minutes, tops!
