RE: Heat transfer questions

[Tom Watters <tomwatters@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think thats why I was told to use Phenolic spacers, was because
aluminum transfers, and wood, no matter how hard has pores in it.  I
didnt think phenolic spacers were wood.  I thought they were layers of
pressed canvas in polyurethane or some other plastic compound.

I dont see why you couldnt use wood, though, if hard enought and sealed
with something that wouldnt melt under the temperatures.
