That's not a problem, it's a feature of a cheap thermostat.
There are several solutions. You can ignore the issue, eggs need an average temperature, not a specific one. This might work, but there is a chance the egg core temp will vary more than you want. You can check this by calibrating the setup with a temp probe inside a water wiggler.
The other solution is to use a better thermostat. You can use a more accurate version of the one you have (I use one by Ranco, and you can see it in the incubator link in my sig), or you could go the whole hog and use a proportional controller, which will be my next upgrade. Incidentally, the PID controllers can also allow for fluctuating ambient temps ..... very cool. They can be had, with a T-type thermocouple, for about $60.
Hope this helps
