Graphite Spray Coating

rhl

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has experimented with spraying graphite lubricant onto the subfloor before doing a staple up job with the metal plates. Would this improve heat transfer at all?

I feel like it would make a mess, maybe even a smelly mess.

I'm not sure it would add enough value for the cost and hassle?

Best to get a nice flat, clean subfloor and screw the plates as tightly as possible.

It's the plate to floor air gaps or spaces that reduce the conductive transfer.

Yeah something like never seize has its Own smell before heating. It also finds its way on everything else.........
