Not a good day, but could have been worse..

I've never tried the Alu Tape for that. If that was ok, it would be a great way. It sticks well and takes heat.

But I'm hesitant to use it, it says in the instructions to not use any metal tape, it can create false readings or a "heat sink" or something along those lines ? Perhaps I need to investigate this further.

If heat syncing is why that is being recommended maybe surround the sensor with hot glue then put the aluminum tape over that. I am somewhat guessing because like I said, I have had no problems. Hopefully someone that has actually had an issue will chime in to help you out.
