I want to stick a Rx to metal, however, because it is a coal fired boiler it does get quite hot.

I have tried servo pads and velcro but it just melts after a couple of runs.

What do you guys recommend please as an alternative?

Don't know whether it's heat proof but have used some Gorilla double sided tape roll this . It's got the adhesion but not tested under heat. It is a pad on a reel and sticks like the proverbial. I assume a coal boiler gets VERY hot??

Blob of silicone?

Are you trying to stick the receiver to the actual boiler? That doesn't sound like a good plan, if you are.

Silly me, that's where I have been going wrong

No, I am not sticking it to the boiler

Thanks Jim, I will give silicone a try otherwise these might work:

if you want to stick it to something hot .get intumescent mastic witch is fire /heat resistant this should work .or put a bit of intumescent mastic then a small bit of fireproof plasterboard or hardiebacker (I can send you a bit if you want ) then no heat should get though and wont melt anything hope this helps

Going to try the Tamyia pads as the silicon melted on the first run unfortunately...

if they don't work send me your address il send you a few bits that might help
