lol.. just simple food grade silicone to fill the engraving should suffice.
Electrical solder is used to solder electrical components. I assume that is what you mean by 'conventional'.
I don't think engineers are in the habit of hacking things together using methods that are dodgy, potentially unsafe, and probably won't work very well.
What you want is some sort of food safe glue that can attach non-ferrous metals to each other and has a good elongation value and medium to high temperature resistance.
I think this might do you:
Maybe the nozzle off a silicone filler tube?
After being used, it would have silicone in the nozzle that wouldn't have come out and then solidified.
I think this could work. Or something like it.

I say YOLO that sucker "The result of these evaluations: FDA for decades has determined that polystyrene is safe for use in contact with food. In addition, FDA has approved styrene as a food additive – it can be added in small amounts to baked goods, frozen dairy products, candy, gelatins, puddings and otherfood." you could add a braid, fittings, etc. with Clear Food Grade Silicone Sealant
Glad I could help, hope you have a blast :)
If you feel like getting arts and crafts-y with your drinking endeavors, here's another tip. Get whatever brand 20 oz water bottles, use a 1/4 drill to bore a hole in it. Fill with whatever clear booze - flavored rums, vodkas, and gins you desire - and re-seal with something like this silicone sealant. You can either reseal under the label or on the bottom of the bottle. I did this for lollapalooza one year, and while the seal was a little leaky when the bottle was squeezed, it worked like a charm.
You could just buy a regular plastic bucket, use some food grade sealant of some sort, and incorporate it's very own STC-1000 for far far less than this. I just don't see the benefit of having this vs. the cost, even if it is a conical (this is a half-assed conical though isn't it).
edit: or go for a regular carboy with thermowell. Hell, get a few for the same price as this...
It could take a while to expand as you suggest, but that would most likely require you to soak both sides of the wood, not just the inside. You could try hosing down to accomplish this, or caking with wet mud to help it stay moist over the time it needs to absorb water. There are dozens of silicone sealers you could use. the clear tub caulk would be fine, but if you intend for the water to be pottable or used for veggies, use something that is food grade like this for example: https://www.amazon.com/Clear-Food-Grade-Silicone-Sealant/dp/B005XP5HO6
Here are two found without any effort at all:
High temperature sealant
More food grade sealant
Remember that "food safe" is not the same as "food grade". What's "food safe" at room temperatures may not be at boiling!
I did use aquarium sealant on the outside of my electric elements, but they were sealed before I did that anyway with a silicone o-ring and plumbers tape. I doubt any wort comes in contact with it. I didn't "glob it on" per se, but I put a healthy layer on. It's messy. Can't help that.
Food grade/Kitchen silicone sealant? Comes in squeezy tubes and caulk-gun cartridges. Lube pot and lid so it will release, lay a bead, close gently and let it set. Ex:
