Coma Corrector fogging up

Hi all. I have a little problem due to the very cold temperatures up here in Brissie lately, to which I have a solution (pulling the imaging train apart mid session and blowing the coma corrector with a hair dryer) but I was wondering if anyone has a more practical solution.

Some context:
The coma corrector (Baader MPCCIII) is inserted into the draw tube of my focuser, so wrapping it with a heater band is not possible....

Thinking about it as I type, IF I wrap the draw tube with a heater band in the right spot, will that heat up the whole area enough to solve the issue? The focuser is a moonlite by the way...

^Thanks for your help...
