Akasa do some Heatsink/CPU cleaner but they don't sell it at OC. If you google it though it comes up everywhere! Might get myself some of that.

That does'nt work on this stuff!! Really, this stuff is like melted plastic. It's like they stuck a huge blob of melted plastic on the NB and then slapped the heatsink on top and when it set it bonded them together. Never come across anything like it.

You don't need lint free cloth. I use kitchen roll.

Soak it in IPA and leave it for 5minutes will loosen it off and turn it back into paste again.
