Either Thermalloy or Wakefield (heat sink manufacturers) used to make a
thermally-conductive epoxy called Output.
It was the only TC epoxy that didn't cost an arm and a leg. I don't
know if this is still available, but there has to be something that will
do the same job. Double-sided tape is worthless, unless it is designed
for the purpose. Bergquist makes thermally conductive electrical
insulating materials, and some of them come with adhesive coatings, but
mostly those are one-side only. Check the Digi-Key catalog, they have
an entire page of Bergquist items.
