I have several SSR's, a power supply, and 2 pancake style cooling fans I am mounting in a control box. The SSR's are all 25 and 40 amp units and the power supply is a 12VDC 5A SMPS. I understand the need for using thermal paste to transfer excess heat, but all I have been able to locate is in very small quantities in a squeeze tube. I am going to need several grams or more and would like to obtain a working quantity of the correct paste without having the issue of waste from so many small tubes. No matter how you squeeze those tubes a small amount remains behind and is an expensive waste. The total voltage applied to the AC outputs on the SSR's is 115 VAC (House current/voltage in the US) at less than 15 amps if all were turned on and operating at the same moment. This is not even possible due to the switching scheme I am using with rotary switches to select the SSR's and components to turn on. So what can I substitute that will work properly, stay within budget, and not create a huge mess when handled? TIA for any help you folks might be able to provide.
