1) I've read a couple of articles a while ago stating that if you glob it on your cpu and heatsink, it can actually overheat your cpu, is this true?
2) I decided to clean up my Cpu and Heatsink, because i globbed it on before and i put a small dot in the middle of cpu and spread it around with my finger in a plastic bag, is this proper?

All help is appreciated, thanks!
 
1. on the heatsink, you should apply some and spread it throughly with a plastic bag then wipe it of
2. on the cpu, you should apply a paper thin layer
