How do you bind the plexiglass to the copper water block? Is it standard epoxy type or anything else. Can you recommend a brand? or a link step by step. please...
Thanks!

I used clear RTV silicone on that block. See those 4 bolts? Those are holding all three peices together. Put a layer of silicone between each layer.

Also, how about soldered pins drilled all the way through the base. Better heat path direct to the die then.

I didn't sharpen the pins on the top but I did on the bottom to try and fit the V shape the drill bit leaves for more contact. I think sharpening the pins on the tops on the one's around the inlet might help some aswell flow wise.
The copper wire I uses is slightly wider than the 1/8" holes. I had to tap them in so they are not just floating in there. I imagine one could take a towel with ice in it and lay the base of the block on it and then take a torch to the pins and maybe they will expand into place better.
Drilling the holes all the way through and soldering then sounds like a good experiment. I could face it with my mill. For the average DIY'er though is might be hard to lap the base.
I havn't had any time to mess with blocks lately. I got everything packed up and ready to move. After I get moved I intend to do a lot more stuff.
