Hi Scott, Though not relevant to your product, UL 1741 has requirements on how to hold a TC in contact with the surface being measured that may be useful. Use of tape is not allowed except as strain relief only. If you are a UL customer, you should be able to access the standard. See clause 43.8.
When I was at UL, we used an adhesive with accelerator, similar to Rodney's suggestion.
