Thermal Paste Removal

 
If you have applied too much or too little Thermal Paste, you would have to remove the Thermal Paste and clean the surfaces thoroughly before starting over.
 
Add a few drops of ArctiClean Thermal Material Remover.
 
 
Wait for 30 seconds for the Thermal Paste to dissolve.
 
Then wipe clean with the coffee filters.
 
 
If you do not have a bottle of ArctiClean Thermal Material Remover, you can use a few drops of 91% Isopropyl Alcohol.
 
You can buy this at Target.
 
 
After removing the Thermal Paste, you must add a few drops of ArctiClean Thermal Surface Purifier.
 
Wipe the surface clean with a coffee filter.
