As I do understand the point you are making here as less fluid tim would be worse to spread into the micro gaps.
But it seems to work accoording to Barbonenet in order to keep the cracking in order.
Like the question Sparks.nl askes a few days back to keep the paste from cracking. There were several good tips about avoiding the crack. You gave a good option to.
In what way should people now be adressing the problem. Because imo the problem is the cracking.
So if we can't heat up the tim. Not cooking tho. What would be the better option.
Heat up the pot with the tim allready installed ?
I am fully aware that heating tim isn't actually the best option. Ur probebly gonna get some really nasty fumes.
Just brainstorming about the problem not trying to be a prick ;-)
