I can't imagine how having the glue not be sticky would affect the
heat transfer. I would be reluctant to use any home type of glues for
fear that it might degrade with exposure to high temperatures.
A simple solution would be to use the least amount of wax that would
simply keep the sink from sliding off when you reassemble it. I'm
talking grain of sand sized, which, I'm guessing will eventually
evaporate off. Also, I'd recommend stacking some folded aluminum foil
between the sink and case to insure good heat transfer.
