From the DX reviews/forum, yes it looks like that has adhesive properties, as long as what you're gluing doesn't need to withstand too much force/vibration.

can i just buy thermal paste and mix it with epoxy?

i think that would be cheaper solution and get more out of what i pay

No, it doesn't work. Already tried it and besides there are 2 different kinds of thermal paste.

1) most commonly and cheapest is Zinc based.
2) Silver (Arctic Silver) which has a moderate amount of Silver in it to conduct heat
very good but expensive


As I said before if you want a thermal epoxy arctic 5 epoxy, GE silver 88% epoxy or transene (88% gold) is for you. For the GE stuff it is about $30USD a tube and liked to being liquid wire. transcene line of epoxies are somewhat more expensive. These would be for you for doing HQ potting work for LD modules.

hmm i think i found a cheap heatsink
Laser Module Housing w/ ~ 1" HEAT SINK - Plastic Lens on eBay.ca (item 380245111432 end time 29-Jun-10 17:01:20 EDT)

wonder if that will fit in the diy cree

 

[Prototype]

That's designed for the 9 LED 3 AAA flashlights, but it may fit if the dimensions inside the light are the same.

the diy cree is 25.9mm - 1.1 inch

and the heatsink is 1 inch
