The TIM between these two plates was thinned with 91% isopropyl. It spreads fast, too fast. The Paste outruns the air and air bubbles quickly get trapped inside. This was so bad i had to do it twice
Dont ask what kind of paste it's irrelevant. But it's a mix of dried Tuniq TX-4 (Absolute Crap IMO) and Dynex Ceramic from Best Buy to thin the Tuniq back out.
