Yeah from what I've seen CVD=$$$. Their PDF brochure says,"Costs: Competitive with existing high-end thermal
materials; less than 1/10 the cost of traditional CVD
diamond materials"

The stuff I've seen b4 is around $1800 for a single slug so if their advert is true that puts it around $2-300 per 50mm slug (Minimum "sample" order of 10 pcs BTW). Nice to think about but too much money for DIY. I imagine you could use a fairly small piece tho', using impingement there isn't really any need to cover much more area than the die takes up.
