As long as you don’t disturb the connections there is no need to reapply the paste. One application is enough ... and just a very thin coating at that. Remember, its not exactly a liquid. It more resembles a powder in suspension. Like I said before, the binder, along with the cryogenic treatment is the key in getting a smooth flow with this material. Once applied properly, what is left on the connection is just a dull grey appearance instead of a shiny one. It helps to use a strong light when applying to be sure you get complete coverage. Oh, and there is no need to clean your connections prior to applying the product. Just paint it on. That’s it.

The brush is a tiny artist brush that is intended for painting small, fine details. There is nothing "soaked" into the brush.
How many IC’s can you paste with one tube? Who knows ... a hundred maybe? I don’t think I’d want to spend the money to find out. I will say that I still have a little left in the original tube that Tim sent me almost a year ago. As things progressed the complete mixing of the graphine kept getting better and better. The original was a little, for lack of a better word, lumpy. Small pieces of graphine could be seen in the material. The final version, the version you will be buying, the version that is now in my system and in Steve’s, is smooth as silk and an even thinner application can be used. Coverage is the key, not the amount used. Like the old hair oil commercial used to say: "A little dab will do ya."
No definite release date yet other than "between Christmas and the New Year."
