Great dollops of that white goo between metal to metal thermally

sure why it is even necessary with perhaps 20 square inches of contact
and bolts between. I always wipe away with paper etc on first parting
but always some gets on my clothing - I've not worn white lab coats for
many a year.

Overuse of that stuff is worse for thermal conductivity than none at all.
I've clean up gobs of it since they started using it decades ago.
