    You can buy double sided sticky foam tabs. They're used for sticking things like fire alarms up - they're about 3/4mm thick.

    Perhaps this product from The Cooling Shop is what you need?

    Those pads aren't sticky, i have a few from ages ago

    Double sided tape man! thin enough to transfer heat (foam would just trap the heat & do more harm than good) & about a quid!
