Anyone know where to get Thermal Grease/Adhesive?

I'm looking for something local, so I don't have to order off the net. Looking for LED Thermal Grease or Adhesive (Either will work for me).

Anyone have an extra tube or know where to get them locally?

I know B & E Electronics in Calgary has some heat sync compounds. Not sure if they are the same thing. Seems like the product you want is a bit more specialized.

I'm no LED expert, but the stuff that rapid LED carries :

http://www.rapidled.com/arctic-alumi...rmal-adhesive/

looks like the same stuff for computer CPU's that memory express in Calgary carries:

Both are Non-Electrically conductive, and conducts heat.

I'm about to put an order in with LEDgroupbuy.com. I can throw some on if you want it from there.

Martin, I would love to buy locally from you, but I want individual LEDs and also need XML. I'm changing out a few LEDs in my fixture.

arctic silver, any computer store should have it. Don't use too much

I had the stuff from rapid led and ran out, i got the same stuff at Memory Express in the se. it was not on display and the clerk had to have a look in the back. but i explained it was from Arctic Silver and it came with 2 tubes, they eventually found some. I dont remember if there was a price diff. from rapid led but you dont have to wait for shipping
