I am looking for Heat Transference Paste in a caulking gun tube. I need to inject it into a 1/2" conduit that is bent into a 90 on the side of a 9000 litre buffer tank. it goes in about 20 inches horizontally and drop about 15 inches vertically, these are in 5 location in the side of the buffer tank. At the end is the heat sensor. I need to inject about 3 inches of heat transfer paste in around the sensor. Can anyone give me any suggestions as to where I can buy it in caulking gun tubs?

    I've only seen it in tubes, syringe or cans. You can buy empty caulk gun tubes and load from a can.

    You could also get a bulk caulk gun or use a caulk gun to drive a syringe

    Hi, Another approach would be to get a grease gun, hook up a skinny hose to it and push that hose down to the end of your sensor well to apply the paste.

    Yours, Larry

    I have noticed a similarity with Anti- Seize compound and heat transfer paste. how similar are they? If they are close could this product work?
