"Pump-out Effect" Is it real or is it nonsense? Let's discuss...

Ahhhh, haha. Gotcha. Why do the tubes all look the same? o_O

Good stuff. I have so much CRC around though. Nasty stuff. Probably canned cancer. But then so is brake cleaner and that gets a lot done. Completely different products from anything in this thread though :laugh:

this is a hit product in germany and has 1.000.000 varieties to use since i can think. it is US army stuff... like many things were at first


I tend to overthink everything; a bad habit of mine.

Please excuse me while I apply a little thermal paste...

that should do it... I've been meaning to make this silly joke for some time now.

good thing: no sunburn! def.´none
 
Some people complain about separation, where the oil separates from the filler in storage; I am beginning to think this is a bigger issue than I at first thought, as the same will happen in use with the filler being pumped out and only the oil returning.

A demand for high thermal conductivity will drive the manufacturers to a high proportion of filler and this may not be best for longevity. Reminds me of the long chains they added to oil to improve its viscosity but those chains were straightened out in the running bearing and the viscosity effect lost. So straight measurements were showing a viscosity improvement that was not actually present in use. So here we may be seeing great day one performance that may not hold up during prolonged use.

I support my criticism of straight temperature performance by falling back on how well 40% diaper cream performs under this criterion; there is so much more to a TIM. So we look at ways to identify a good thermal grease and I would say one that does not separate in storage is a criterion that goes beyond just 'its cooler'
