N8 could you explain what galling is?,and how it would ruin flatness?, I understand surface welding,(or sucking
).
Also what is your take on the silver writing that AMD prints onto the core?, I've had some of it be far from flat,(some little silver 'spikes'), and it can cover a fair percentage of the core area(10%?).I've noticed that it leaves an imprint on the block everytime you mount it!, this can't be good can it?. Is there a way of removing this with a solvant rather than an abrasive?. or is there a need to?. Any idea what it actualy consists of?...
Also what's the best AS aplication procedure?. put it on with finger in glove(sounds best for ease) I've heard of a Cello/Scotch~tape method before but am not 100% sure on procedure. but I think you apply the stiky side to some AS thats spread on glass or something flat to pick up a thin layer, then press this layer onto the core or block(better than core I think, more pores to fill)...
I'd like to see you do an article as well
...
Thanx!...

PS. what is SiC paper?, I use the wet'n'dry that is indiginous to auto shops
. I always seem to get a 'black dirt' (like when you lapp ALu) when I lapp Cu with this, this cause it's cheap?...
