[QUOTE="Digerati, post: 622590, member: 59833"] I clean both mating surfaces with 91-93% Isopropyl alcohol and a cotton pad. Then I snip off the end of a Q-Tip cotton swab and bend the cut end over about a 1/2 inch in to make a little hockey stick. I then give each surface a quick blast of canned dusting gas to ensure no dust and dab a tiny, small grain of rice size blob of new TIM on the die and spread it out evenly with my new TIM applicator device - with the computer unplugged from the wall and my extra hand planted firmly on bare metal of the case interior, of course, to prevent any ESD damage.
