3M used to make a good high temperature tape that held the thermocouples nicely. To keep the tape from no allowing the part to radiate the heat appropriately I used on a small spot of tape over the thermocouple and then a strong adhesive along the line of the thermocouple leads to "strain relieve" the thermocouple attachment. Given the general accuracy of type T etc thermocouples I never ran into a problem. Sure was easier than trying to mix Fuller's earth and Glassine and was easier on the eyes than rubbing that stuff into them. Gary

Therefore, since these items tend to be too expensive to be considered as "throw-away" items, does any one have suggestions for adhesives which wil stick reasonably well but will then allow the thermocouples to be removed fairly easily and without damage?

I just tried to reorder some and was told it has been discontinued. Does anyone have a recommendation on a replacement?
