Vantec Thermal paste: non-conductive?

I was installing a processor yesterday, using Vantec's Thermal paste, and some dripped on the processor, and may have gotten in the traces. Any suggestions on cleaning it up?
 
Isopryl Alcohol (Rubbing alcohol) works good, or if you have some good electrical contact cleaner that leaves no residue will work good too.
 
Response from Vantec tech support:

"The Thermal Paste is only heat conductive, not electrically.

Thank you for choosing Vantec."

So, no problem. I mean, you specifically need to cut a lead to change it, and it will not add a new lead, so I'm good to go. BTW, I used toilet paper to remove the goo from the chip (not the die).

Thanks, tho.
