How did you manage to remove all of the epoxy gunk? That chip looks oldskool with no spreader

 

[Thawaxshop]

the silicone that held the spreader on? I used a razor blade then used metal polish to remove the fine parts

 

[chudley]

now that is a cool use of metal polish.

I also used it to clean the core off

 

[Pat123]

wow lol u got balls i wouldnt touch my core 2, then if i had the money to replace it ide consider it lol.. But all for the sake of a few degrees?

Nice water set-up btw..

 

[Thawaxshop]

The water was a last minute thing. But it turned out decent.

You're a braver man than me my friend....... I may lap a IHS, but I'd never try and remove one.
