I've gotta tub of it but I'm in Tumwater. Thursday nights I teach in DuPont but that's the closest I get.

I know it's Thursday......no, I don't have it in my back pocket :bigsmile:

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

I've never had a failure using cheap silicone dielectric grease.

Maybe not Jefe, but they are 2 different animals designed for different purposes.

Good Plan. Costco is rationing TP and paper towels, and ran out within the first 40 minutes of opening today. Gonna be a lot of dirty butts out there.

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

:ROFLMAO: thanks scott, wasn't sure if I even bought a tube how long would it last or even if I would use it again first time trying this and not even sure it will work. maybe its time for another machine.

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.
