Thanks for the comments guys.

I was a bit concerned about that too, Leo. But like you mentioned, consistency is most important when comparing paste products. With half degree deltas, I had to rely on an application method that I could reproduce over and over again. The problem with the bead and line method is that pastes with varying thickness may spread differently under mounting pressure. Spreading it as described allowed me to see exactly how thick the applied paste was.

You are right about the TX-2 being around for over a year. Our PR rep contacted us about six months ago regarding TX-2 and I incorrectly assumed it was freshly released at that time. I corrected that statement in the review. Thanks for catching that!
