Immersion heater failed ... reason: 'ressetable' thermal cutout that doesn't want to reset.
Ordering a replacement http://sinolec.co.uk/en/manual-reset-thermostat/450-thermostat-90-closed.html but the original was adhered to the metal of the heater, which would obviously give a good transfer of heat.
I'm thinking if I just tighten up the nuts without suitable adhesive, there maybe won't be sufficient transfer of heat.
Perhaps it's not necessary but I'd feel better if it was stuck on, like the original.
Question is ... what's a suitable adhesive that will conduct the heat?
