An "adhesive", per se, is not used. A silicone-based heat conducting creme is used. This product is available at places such as Radio Shack. Thermalloy, a commercial grade prouct, is what is used where large quantities are involved, such as in manufacturing. Silver-based heat conductng cremes are recommended for third-party CPU upgrades, but this product was not used by Apple in the G3 line. Before applying new silicone-based creme, remove the old, dried creme using a toothpick and a Q-tip to remove the larger pieces, and a Q-tip moistened in Pine-Sol to remove any remaining residue. The Pine-sol, which is just about the only substance which can remove this silicone-based product, is itself water soluble, so a cloth moistened with hot water can remove any remaining Pine-Sol. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
