Thermal grease should always be applied sparingly

A couple of replies in this thread suggest to add a 'coat' or 'plenty' of thermal grease. The thermal resistance is not that low but it is better than air so the role of the grease is to fill any tiny voids in the mating surfaces, so, should be applied sparingly. You don't want a coating of grease keeping the mating surfaces further apart than they need to be.
