I figured out something similar except I use ceramic bowl instead of hotel pan. I am thinking of switching though, because I can't keep tempered chocolatate in it for long time because no cover. What temp is you water bath at?
If I’m melting solid chocolate I set it to 116f, if I’m holding melted chocolate I lower it to 111f. No science behind the temps, just what’s worked—-and isn’t too high for the batch.

"I am so excited bc this diy equipment will keep my new-to-me delta melter just with dark chocolate, I won’t have to deep clean it every time switching from MR’s oat milk recipe and white chocolate. Thank you! Actually, it will make me want to make those specialty batches, there’s no excuse! "
Yes, but above the temperature I add seed--I pour chocolate out of the melter into my standard size tempering bowl, then by the time that's done it's usually the right temp for adding the seed.

Have you tried using this to hold temp while chocolate is tempered and you are filling molds
