I don't have any thermal pads, the bottom of the mosfets are conductive and I'd like to put them both on the same heatsink. Is there anything I might have around the house I could use for this? Or any ideas?

Will nail polish work? I think I've heard of using this as a thermal paste?

You could always use Arctic alumina athermal adhesive (http://sidewindercomputers.com/araltherad.html)

yeah, but I have to buy that lol, I could just buy some thermal pads if need be, but I didn't wanna spend anymore money than I already have, trying to budget 60$ till I find a job.

Some have used AS3 or AS5 and a dab of superglue on the corners.

Arctic Silver is conductive though

It can be done, you just have to be carefull. Either that is use the thermal tape which won't cool as well.
