How to re apply thermal paste
I bought some artic mx4 for my switch lite and I don't really know what method of applying thermal paste I should use on it or exactly how. I am still trying to learn to take apart devices.

First you will need a good small spatula.
Make sure you have cleaned and dried the surface throughly.
Put a small blob of the paste on the area and use the spatula to spread out to the edges, making sure it’s a covering the surface as even as possible. Always start with a small amount of paste, because you can always add more if needed, but it’s a bugger to get rid of excess without having to start from step one again.
one school of thought has you putting the paste on both surfaces, but that can end up having too much in some cases.

will a credit card work as a spatula
Yes, but I don’t recommend this,
A) you might want to make a purchase later,
B) the card would have to be cut down to size
what size do i have to cut it down to
I always use a single edge razor blade pulling it backward over the surface to spread it evenly and thinly. The coating must be very thin and even. The paste is ONLY to fill in the small holes and uneven surface that you cannot see. It is not to create a thick cushion
@ruggb ok I will try that
