Has anyone ever used any of the heat sink compounds for heat straightening? I've used them before on sheet metal to try and reduce distortion, at best I can say they did something, usually not enough. Would they work any better for heat shrinking or bending?
I have a tube of this stuff at work;
http://www.tempil.com/products/anti-heat-heat-absorbing-compound/ I'll give it a try when I get a chance, but i'm wondering if anyone else has tried it before. I don't think i'm going to have much play time at work for a while...
And what is happening with this stuff that makes it absorb heat? Is it only absorbing heat from the surface its directly contacting, or will it "pull" heat through a parts thickness?
