Thermocouple adhesive

[adriangillitt]

I am trying to find an adhesive to attach a thermocouple to a GRP plate. I was considering sodium silicate adhesive which can hold at high temperatures but is not very flexible, which is a problem as the plate will be flexing. I've heard that mixing this with ball clay can produce a flexible adhesive which will hold at high temperatures. Has anyone tried this or any other method for a similar application.

Fiber glass and sodium silicate don’t get a long as the sodium dissolves the glass if exposed.


Here are two sites that may have the ceramic adhesive you need.

If you want to try epoxy try this one.

Ceramic will do, but why not welding a clip to to hod it?

Look at using either epoxy or the same resin that the FRP is made from.
