Anyone know of any high temp reflective paint or tape?

[albertj03]

I'm looking for something that is reflective yet able to stand up to high heat at the same time. This is for the web cam in my basement that I use to monitor my stove when I'm working. The problem is that the needle on the thermometer that is on the stove pipe is really hard to see on the camera. Last year I put a piece of aluminum foil on the needle and that helped it to stand out but is kind of a pain because sometimes it falls off. Does anyone know of any kind of high temp reflective paint or tape that will stand up the temps they will reach on the stove pipe? I looked around at Home Depot but I couldn't find anything that even came close.

Thanks

Hi Temp RTV silicone spread on the needle? It is red and stands out, not sure if it would weigh down the needle to much for it to move however.

If you're just working upstairs or out in the yard, you could always get a remote meat thermometer. I use a maverick on my Big Green Egg and the temps get up around 700. Range is actually quite good on the newer ones.

Krylon has aluminum colored high temp paint, rustoleum has a couple colors in a couple grades of high temp.

If you really want Dayglo , the pointer maybe quite a bit cooler than the actual temp and be able to handle the temp. Or have you tried that and it did not hold up?

That Krylon aluminum paint sounds like exactly what I'm looking for. I'll have to check it out.

The only thing I've done so far is put aluminum foil on the needle and it works ok but it sucks when the stove is cruising and the foil falls off. Hard to put it back on.
