Thanks guys,
It does appear to be curing as i'm seeing slightly better temps that posted above.

I'll see if I can finish up my testing and post results later today.

I also think the bonding issue is not that extreme, sounds like some may get stuck on the blocks and IHS and you'll have to remove it with polish or lap it. I lap both routinely anyhow, so that's not a problem for me.

Heck I was even tempted to try and remove my IHS in hopes of 2C or better, never would have thought I could get that with this stuff.

I went ahead and put it on my 8800gtx and D-tek Fuzion GFX last night, so I'll have a second mounting to compare it to. My 8800 just has a stock non-lapped IHS. I'm seeing gain there too, but maybe not as significant as with the CPU.

So, I'm beginning to speculate this stuff works best on a lapped IHS with direct copper to copper bearing....but that's just speculation..
