Quite tough, but fair. At some point it felt easy, until it wasn’t and I was forced to restart. Many thanks long lasting entertainment..

Lovely puzzle, quite tricky though, I had to start over a few times but finally got it. I always love these coloring puzzles where a tiny clue disambiguates everything in the final minute of the solve. Thanks for setting!

Response from Eric: You're welcome. This was not an easy puzzle so congratulations on sticking it out and finding the solution. I too like puzzles that involve coloring with a minor clue solving the puzzle at the end. The little thermo fulfilled its job well.
