Looks like it might do the job. Expensive! And doesn't seem to be available
in quantities less than 1 pint:

A bit much, when all I need is a few grams...

Hmm... anybody have a small amount they want to give / sell?

The amount of heat flow into that sliver of metal will be tiny, so any
adhesive will work the same. The thermal resistance of the metal to
the air will dwarf the thermal resistance of any adhesive. I suspect
the function of the metal may not be thermal anyhow.

Besides, filled adhesives aren't all that much better than unfilled
ones, even if the filler is diamond.


Run it for 30 minutes, as-is, and see if the transformer gets hot.
