    Hi all.. im currently building a high power LED lighting system for my tank(proper leds, none of these rubbish strips). I am struggling to find a thermal glue or heatsink plaster. it is like the thermal paste that you use for computer parts etc but instead it is more of a glue aswell. the supplier for south africa has gone out of business and i want to know if it is possible to get anything locally? Any suggestions?

    i have tried rampage gaming and they do not stock it (tried all the google.co.za links), also tried zaps, as i said the problem is that the supplier has gone so nobody can get it. but i will try the suggestions here that you guys have suggested. thanks....
    i was thinking to maybe do a diy termal paste... maybe a drop of silicone with some thermal paste with some copper shavings in it!!!
