I've seen pictures around of those cartridges and that it might be a good idea to insert them all the way in so that the end side of the cartridge sticks out.

normally the cases are pretty thick, so you can get away with even giving them a slight touch with a bench grinder

I've used 6 inch long heaters in blind holes, in beryllium copper, and without anti-seize the heater cartridges fuse inside the wells.
I haven't tried it but I have read about using red high temperature automotive silicone inside the well of 3d printer hot ends.
Almost any thing is better at transferring heat than air, just as long it doesn't catch fire, or char.
But if you have a food or medical application, you don't want anti-seize near the finished product.

Good solution to retain the thermistor, and transfer the heat to the glass bead.
You'll probably have to pick/chisel it out, but it's a good high temp adhesive.
sodium silicate, (water glass) + magnesium silicate, (Talc)+ kaolin (aluminium silicate) + water = muffler sealer.
Sodium silicate
In acidic solutions, the silicate ion reacts with hydrogen ions to form silicic acid, which when heated and roasted forms silica gel, a hard, glassy substance.

I have a Mendel TriC, therefore 3 heater cartridge. The cartridge's core is 4mm x 10mm. I could only find 6mm x 20mm on the market. Where can I find the 4mm x10mm. I am gonna ruin my alum connector if I drill a bigger hole. I bought my printer directly from RepRap and could'nt find the part anywhere ... Can someone provide me with a link?
Thanks a lot.
