It's probably over at my shop. I'll check tomorrow

Just use the paste on your butt. Then the crap won't stick...

Yeah - the thermal paste is something you buy once.... use only a tiny amount of it, and then it just sits there..... it really is a lifetime supply. Don't know if it goes bad --- I'd be worried about it settling maybe.... sorta like gutter seal.

I had a manager back in the '90s once refer to it as "thermal spoo".
I'd never heard that before in my life, but I remembered it.
I know the old-school ArcticSilver will separate and change color after a decade or so.

You never know until you go look..... Roll the syringe every 2-3 years.
