There may be a spec, but most people apply it with a razor blade or sharp spatula edge etc. At my job, we make various high power inverters and the IGBT transistor and diode packages get the thermal paste applied through a silk screen to the copper heatsink. Use a razor blade edge- the extra just squeezes out of the edges anyhow.
