I use a plastic bag... apply a small amount to the heatsink, work it in with the bag over my finger... then use what's on the bag to put a thin coating on the CPU core. I never apply the compound directly from the tube onto the CPU core like you see in a lot of pictures.

Need to be careful with that... if you scratch the core that's bad for it... that's why they say to use a plastic bag or credit card, because plastic won't scratch the core of the CPU.

What kind of alcohol? I never did that! I just broke out the CPU, the Artic Silver, and the HSF and sandwiched it all together...
