Anyone know where I could get both of these two products in the US? I would perfer to buy both from one place, but would buy at two if I had to.

the stuff they have at cooltechnica is not quite the same as the Dow conformal coating you see used in peltier applications most of the time. The Dow coating at cooltechnica has an off-white tint to it -- it is the Dow 748 -- it is not the Dow Corning 1-2577. The other stuff they have is GE 6700 which is clear but it is a little thick.

I suspect the stuff you are looking is the Dow Corning 1-2577:

That is the only place I have been able to find that in small quantities - it is not in the US but they have free shipping worldwide.

as far as the di-electric grease goes, are you close to an AutoZone or a NAPA autoparts store? They carry dielectric grease.

mcmaster-carr carries several different types of coatings - just make sure you get the non-corrosive stuff.

more specifically, they carry:

Flowable:
Dow 784
GE 6700
Dow 3140

Non-Flowable:
GE 162
Dow 3145

mcmaster-carr also sells neoprene, including some adhesive backed stuff.
