RE: Gluing trace repair wires (a product source given)

Hi Doug,

I've used 5-minute epoxy with great success for attaching heatsinks.
You need to get quite hot to break it down.

Speaking of which (yeah, this is slightly off-topic), does anyone know a
good source of thermal epoxy? I need to attach a heatsink to a
surface-mounted device that's running hot. The ideal glue would be
something that's permanent and has high thermal conductivity, and won't
deteriorate at 80-90C. Would a very thin layer of regular 5-minute epoxy
do the trick here, or should I get the Real Thing?

The device is rated to 145C, so I'm not worried about it. But the
electrolytic capacitor right *next* to the device is another story ;-)

Later,
Doug.
