So, we removed the 100k Honeywell Thermistor on our Taz 5 bed and now can’t find a good adhesive to reattach it to the silicon mat. We tried e6000 which did not work, it never seemed to cure on the silicon mat. I searched the forums and have not found anything that addresses this issue. Before I commit to buying a new bed I want to see if you all have suggestions or experience with this issue. Thanks! ---

Hmm… I won’t ask why you removed the thermistor… 🙂 Maybe a [high temp RTV silicone](https://www.permatex.com/products/adhesives-sealants/sealants/permatex-clear-rtv-silicone-adhesive-sealant/) or [this](https://www.jbtoolsales.com/jb-weld-31314-high-temperature-red-acetoxy-silicone-sealant-3-oz/?gclid=CjwKCAiAoNTUBRBUEiwAWje2lruYhqk10kH_0T2cqoZTNQUVkUJaNnFoPORCMkhTcsFkxs5tWhjeZxoCI4AQAvD_BwE) can re-attach? Not sure if either will stick to silicone… Actually… this is advertised to stick silcone to silicone: [https://www.smooth-on.com/products/sil-poxy/](https://www.smooth-on.com/products/sil-poxy/) ---

Wasn’t me that removed the thermistor 😆 Right now I’m running with duct tape as a band-aid solution until I buy some proper adhesive. I’m going to try out the Permatex stuff later this week. Thanks! ---

RTV Black gasket maker is what I use to use to re-attach heat beds to bare glass plates, so it will probably work also. Will look UGLY but will probably work just fine. ---

Hello everyone I had to remove the thermistor because it burned, I replaced it with a new one from the same brand (100k Honeywell Thermistor), after connecting the heat bed again, the printer does not detect the temperature of the bed. Also buy a new heat bed, but the same thing happens, when I connect it, does not detect it, it does not heat up. Any idea what might be happening? Thanks!! ---

You might check the bed cable connectors on the back of the control box and make sure they are not burnt.
