I don't need to use any compound with the resistors that I use. Just wrap then in AL foil so that they are a tight fit.<br /><br />A bulb might give a faster response time though.<br /><br />I have tried to use high temperature paint to stick nichrome heaters but it was not very good used as an adhesive.nopheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12801535866788103677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339813531032979196.post-31276343225129440922010-01-06T13:03:49.209+00:002010-01-06T13:03:49.209+00:00@nophead

(dont know if they are electrically conductive).<br /><br />ErhardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339813531032979196.post-63939410399505354732010-01-04T03:14:35.768+00:002010-01-04T03:14:35.768+00:00by the sounds of it i will have allot to learn whe...by the sounds of it i will have allot to learn when i build my unit, but i have a long way to go still, i only just found a frame to build mine ontoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11988319309314632650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339813531032979196.post-43162153693335051962010-01-03T22:58:32.909+00:002010-01-03T22:58:32.909+00:00Cerastil H-115, it takes 24 hours to cure.Cerastil H-115, it takes 24 hours to cure.nopheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12801535866788103677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339813531032979196.post-22751768586779041262010-01-03T22:53:35.933+00:002010-01-03T22:53:35.933+00:00What kind of Cerastil are you using?

They say on room temperature it will cure in 7 days, but you can just heat it up at ~200°C and will cure very fast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
