[Amps] Arctic Silver

[Roger (K8RI)]

Just a couple of thoughts:

Arctic Silver is a compound that cures with a few hours of use. After a 
few heat cycles, the heat sink should be "stuck" to the transistor.  If 
you break it loose checking, the old compound needs to be cleaned off 
and a new batch applied.  Do not use excess (more than needed).

Silicone heat compound (grease) is rarely used now days as the new 
compounds of which I believe Arctic Silver is the best, are far superior 
to the old compounds and greases.
