Title: thermal epoxy
Post by: tubesornothing on April 25, 2009, 10:55:52 am

Anyone suggest a inexpensive substitute for thermal epoxy?  I need to glue on a heat sink and dont want to spend $55 for a small job.

There's no equivalent to an engineered thermal epoxy. $55 is wrong.

You can do $11 shipped.
