[Elecraft] Transistor pads

[Merv Schweigert]

I was just updating my oldest K3 to the new Synth,  and a couple other mods,
one mod required the rear portion of the bottom plate be removed, I notice
there are no heatsink pads on the 3 transistors.
I do not have any on hand and there is nothing available on this island 
for sure,
Is it possible to use silicone heat sink goop,  a small layer to replace 
the pads?

Thanks  73 Merv  K9FD/KH6
