    Looks like the pics I took of the various methods, here in my shop, many moons ago. I used the Radiant Engineering ThermoFin extruded transfer plates out of Bozeman, Mt.

    Rubber tube staple up, with heat transfer staples :)

    Suspended tube, ala Wirsbo.

    Here are the various methods I tested, including the Warmboard. Notice where I routered a groove in the WB, and how it stopped the thermal transfer to break the aluminum.

    Those pics were the property of the RPA, I had permission to use them after I did the testing.

    I should have added in light of the original topic that those plates made by this particular business will deff add to the snap,crackle,pop syndrome. If not from heating at least from plywood deflection from live loads.



    Yeah HR i have seen the IR photos on the web site else where on the net.
