To all,
I'm surprised that no one hasn't mentioned this yet.
In the past for this application, the securement that I was introduced to was
fiberglass tape and
that white thermal grease. The tape exhibited high thermal stability and was
used to secure the
thermocouples, but left adhesive residue when removed after a temperature
test. The thermocouple was
inserted into the grease which offered excellent thermal conduction from the
measurement point to
the thermocouple. The downside to this grease, as anyone who's used this
grease would say, is that
the grease is "messy to the extreme" and it generally could not be completely
removed from any
surface that it came in contact with. And, it always found a way to get onto
unintended surfaces
including clothing. But, as a plus, the thermal grease would stay put
physically over a very wide
temperature range.
I'm sure that someone has fond memories of that stuff.
Best regards,
Ron Pickard

If you're referring to what I think you are, it's "fuller's
earth and waterglass," which is a clay-like mineral and
sodium silicate solution.
A former agency engineer I worked with also used this waterglass adhesive for
thermocouples. It
worked great and was usually easy to remove thermocouples without damaging.
