If you did, your heatsink would be permenatly attached to the CPU or GPU I would think.

But you must mix part A & B of arctic silver thermal adhesive to make it "works".

Well actually this two compound mixture and If you can figure out which one is the thermal compound you can use it just for the cpu cooling....

i thought epoxy was a 2 part thing.. so both can contain arctic silver. It's just suspended in the epoxy parts?

At any rate doing this is potentially much much more expensive than getting some as2/3/alumina, and if it does work i don't think the epoxy parts mixed with the AS would be as good thermally.
