1) I just used a meat thermometer, but it didn't go high enough so I pulled it out when it reached the thermometer's maximum temperature and let it boil for another minute or so. Really, you can just watch it until it's boiling and it turns clear. You'll notice the transformation take place.
2) I just cut up an old t-shirt. Thinner cotton strips from the cloth store would probably work too, though.
Sweetpea - do you put the tendskin on right afterward or do you rinse the area first? The problem I have is that the sugar paste gets everywhere and I really need to rinse off afterward. The soapy water that gets the sugar off is what makes the follicles sting.
