Slightly tangential thought, but seeing as you're talking about melting things and wax, why not go all the way and do a lost-wax casting variation?

If you were to make a split-mold of a fitting, and then take multiple pre-shaped candle wax plugs from it, you could then readily epoxy the wax fittings through your deck, and then at your leisure warm them with your heat gun for a complete and painless removal? To my mind that'd be a lot cooler (
