Thanks for the clear paint warning I was going to ask about that. I was having a hard time finding a suitable thermal compound to use when putting the electronics back on the underside of the plenum, everyone wanted to sell me dialectic grease... this is not the same as a thermal grease/compound. I found a source for a 100 gram tube of thermal compound that I use on computer CPU heat sinks I think it should work out.
I got mine at Radio Shack. I applied it with a putty knife in a very thin, even layer: not thick - so thin you could almost see through it. (Zinc oxide heat sink goop.)

Oh! And, you want to make sure you don't get any contaminants in it, like any grains of sand, for example.
