Ooops!
Being sticky (The glue) helps with heat transfer, it ensures that the chip
has good contact all over and the heat will dissipate evenly. Your going to
have warm and cool spots! (Not good for the chip parts will be hot others
will be normal temp) Call the dealer you got the chip or computer from and
ask them, if not someone on the list may know where you can get it! Check
apple's site also!
