Hi Steve
Dr. Zapfardt would likely call you a bozo, but then, he's a bit of a social
misfit.
From my perspective and experience, I still question how firmly the TC is
contacting the joint.  You bring up a good point that people should not use
excessive solder (or epoxy) for covering TC attachment when using such
materials.  I understand you are in a CEM situation and can't sacrifice  boards for
profiling.  I would implore you to try experimenting with  aluminum tape.
Looking forward to your findings.
Regards,
