thermally conductive gels/pastes

(OP)
Does anyone know of, or could recomend any commercially available gels or pastes that I could use to conduct teperature to the tip of a thermocouple that is inserted into a hole drilled in a refractory brick.
The gel/paste needs to be able to withstand upto 200 degs c and must not set solid as the thermocouples have to be removed periodically. It also has to be reasonably cheap as there are a lot of thermocouples that will require treating. I'm looking at buying it by the bucket load, not small tubes like the heat sink compounds used on pcb's.

RE: thermally conductive gels/pastes

Electrolube's HTS and HTSP are right in your temperature range and available in 25kg buckets.

Dow Corning's 340 heatsink compound will be available in large quantities too - I didn't register with their site to pull the full data so I don't know what the exact package quantities are.
