Greetings all,

I am up to the stage in my build where i am sticking down temp sensors to various part of my blocks. Problem seems to be is that as the blocks are chrome, im having a hard time trying to stick the copper tape down onto these blocks.

Any suggestions?

Cheers,
Matt

There's a metal film tape made by 3M which sticks like it's welded onto the block. I've never actually tried those sensor tapes that come with Koolance blocks, for example, but you might consider that 3M tape if it's similar in thickness.

Is there a website? Prefer not to go through ebay.

3M tape I was talking about is quite commonly sold around the world. Just look at a hardware store or home depot of some sort.

Do you know the exact name of the tape?

Well, the website is 3M and it says 'Metal Foil Tape' - so yes, that's the one.
