thermally conductive epoxy

ZINC OXIDE a white paste. Has ZERO adhesive qualities. Good heat transfer

CERAMIC ADHESIVE (1) Excellent adhesive qualities fair to good heat transfer

METALLIZED ADHESIVE EPOXY (2) part. Excellent heat transfer and adhesive. Arctic Silver

METALLIZED HEAT TRANSFER PASTE. Arctic Silver

Do you really need the top drawer thermal transfer capabilities of metallized compounds?

Amazon or eBay

thank you. i need the thermostat to stick to the side of my water heater in the toyhauler. after exhausting a million hours on the
web, i will go and get the artic silver epoxy that is local and is $12.

CLEAN! SPOTLESS!

Scratch and roughen both surfaces with 180 grit, then swab both surfaces with isopopyl alcohol. THIN! Don't slop on the adhesive. Then clamp tight for a few hours.

I find myself working with dozens and dozens of LED chips and heatsinks. I turned to Arctic Silver and they gave OEM purchase pricing.

Please give feedback as to how this all works out for you...

works great, i can control the temp of my water and turned it down cuz i hate burning my hands with the hot water. dont care about the efficiency of hotter water. dont burn my hands now and shower so much better too

i have had good luck with artic silver sold on amazon

Artic Silver is thermally conductive (Oh man is it) but not epoxy, It is heat sink compound.

Would make very good stuff to put on the contact area but you'd need an alternate way to hold on the T-Stat Hot surface tape perhaps?)
