Thanks, everyone!

Since there is already a thin layer there, I'll just leave it as is
instead of adding more.

If it wasn't for you guys, I would have made the mistake of putting a
thicker coating on.

The only problems with putting too much on are the cost of the paste and
what squeezes out when you re tighten the heatsink is messy! In the years
when I made my living servicing PC monitors & PSU boxes, about 4 or 5% of
PSU blowups were due to insufficient heatsink compound. In every case,
replacing the blown components and using sufficient paste provided a
permanent repair.
