I used thermal adhesive to connect an aluminium cooling block to an aluminium plate and discovered that "thermal" adhesive has about 500 times less thermal conductivity (0.9) compared to aluminium (600).
I'm not sure why thermal paste should be used at all as it is far less conductive than the metals themsleves.
