Default DIY bottle blanket?

Attention nitrous and FI junkies:

It's getting a bit chilly down here in florida now, and I am in the need of a bottle heater/ warmer. Anything to keep that bottle pressure up to a reasonable level. The problem is, though, I have no money, nor a gauge. I am figuring that the idea behind NOS's bottle blanket is simple. Has anyone successfully created a blanket or anything of the sort to help with this sort of problem?

Do they just watch the gauge until the pressure seems right then? How well did it work?

heating blanket takes hours. i have tried. the NOS bottle warmer only takes like 8 min. and yeah all you can really do is watch the gauge unless you get a thermostat to shut it down.
