Well, I have tried several thermal mastic materials. The best I have found is no mastic at all. Certinly ,I have not exhausted all the possiabilities, in fact I now have Radio Shack heat sink compound in my very hand right now.That is the good news. Turns out that this is made of the same material as the MG Chemicals heat sink compound(WWW.MGCHEMICALS.COM).Zinc oxide. Looks like it can be used on your nose at the beach too.Has thremal conductivity of 18.48 X 10 to the negative 4th power(MG chemical product-not sure about the RS product). I saw another on the web that had 16.7X10 to the negative 4th power conductivity. Man, what does it all mean? I think ice is better.I also used the origional pea soup green stuff in the caulking tube.Not as good as zinc oxide, and not as good as ice, either. I still got enough to caulk all the dometics within 100 miles.I heard that MG chemicals have a silver metal heat sink compound, but I cannot find that in their catalogue. Their tech help told me about it.With these jproducts , I get about 20 degrees at the evaperator, and 30 at the floor. Ice get me about 3 degrees better cooling. All this on 110 V.Has anyone a better suggestion for thermal mastic? I am going to give the RS stuff a shot this evening, but expect it to preform as the MG stuff.It does have a greasey carrier though. Roger
