Not Charles, but me, and I now wish I hadn't asked at all, due to all
the confusion my posting has caused.  All I ever planned to use was std
heatsink compound between the HS&F and the die of the chip, PLUS  the
"temporary" adhesive out around the periphery, so I could move a
chip/HS&F combo to another test board, without having to re-do the
thermal compound interface between the die on the chip and the HS&F.

Thanks, Mike.  I'll either try that, or the "high temperature RTV"
from the auto parts store as earlier suggested by good old Matt
Mc_Carthy.
