    Yeah, he uses it all the time. Nothing some Q-Tip and alcohol can't fix. It is non-conductive (electrically) so not the end of the world. If it fixes the problem, would be worth it.

    K5 is messy if you want to remove, so just put enough to cover the gap. Do a "dry run" without thermal pad first before applying K5 to judge.

    A good thermal pad at 0.5mm is going to do the job well enough, the paste is not a needed pain IMO.
