hi i just applied as3, and i couldnt get it to be perfect like the on in the picture of the as3 site. i couldnt really use a credit card cuz everytime i scraped some silver would show up under the grease, and now when its all done i pop hs back in and check temps, and they havent really gone down at all. before i was using a thermal pad, so i am pretty sure tere should be a much bigger difference than *at most 1-2 deg c*. advice would be great, thanks
