SUMMARY
This discussion focuses on the search for rubber materials that can withstand temperatures up to 30 degrees Celsius without degradation while being capable of melting for sealing purposes. It concludes that no rubber can melt at this low temperature, suggesting alternatives such as low-melting plastics or strong flexible adhesives. Two-part cold cure silicone casting rubber is recommended for joining rubber sheets, along with super glue and poly-ether polyurethane as potential adhesive options. The conversation emphasizes the importance of selecting the right materials for effective thermal applications.
