Hi, im thinking of applying this but what worries me is if it leaks. What are the chances of it bleeding out and them going all over my board? Do any of you guys use it? Any tips for application of it?

I've got some Akasa Pro-grade 5022 spare, which i've read is almost if not better than AS5.
They provide a card spreader, but i find that i've never been able to spread it properly with it as it ends up sticking to the card.
I don't know much about applying thermal paste, so when i apply it would i cover the entire top part of the heatspreader or only just part of it? do i need to sprea d it out perfectly or will the CPU cooler do the rest for me? Any guides that you can recommend?
Will be using an Artic Cooler 7
