SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the search for a thermally insulating tape or gel capable of withstanding temperatures between 100°C and 350°C for use on a glass slide in thermal measurements. The user emphasizes the need for low thermal conductivity and a thickness of approximately 1mm. Most conventional tapes fail to endure temperatures above 200°C, prompting suggestions such as using aluminum foil as an alternative solution. The focus is on finding materials that maintain adhesive properties while providing effective thermal insulation.
