    Each of those chips have basically half a container on them, so I’m not sure how anyone got the idea they should use that much.

        The industrial containers I had the pleasure of producing and shipping could all be re-sealed for later (industrial) use. Are the options available for commercial use not able to be re-sealed for later use? As long as it’s properly sealed it can be good for 2-5 years.

          Yes there are many kinds of resealable containers for commercially sold pastes. Syringes with caps are very common. I’ve also definitely used pastes older than that and they worked great, but they were also expensive after-market pastes stored at room temp.

            In my old job we could order toothpaste sized thermal pastes, right down to the same caps. I have seen someone use a whole ass colgate worth on one laptop…
