Apologies for the 10 months behind everyone else nature to this Qn.

Applied some of AA to a driver-heatsink interface last night and it had not set this morning?? I'm aware the stuff must go through hot/cold cycle to improve performance but does it actually harden?

Cheers

Yeah it's confusing - you want the thermal adhesive, not the thermal compound.
