What kind of consistency should AS5 have?

I bought my tube on eBay and I have a slight suspicion it might be fake. It has Play-dough like consistency and it's much more difficult to spread compared to Arctic Alumina or the older AS and AS2.

Is this consistent with the properties of genuine AS5?
 
I have noticed my AS5 seems "thicker" than the previous products and more does not spread out as easily. But not sure I would call it play-dough. It will still spread out without clumping etc. but I do have to "push" it compared to the older stuff that just "spread" easily.
 
sounds like it may have seperated due to being stored incorrectly.

try massaging the tube to see if it has any effect on consistency.
 
It's a syringe. Can't do that.

don't talk daft.

of couse it can seperate. gravity does not magically fail to have an effect because it's in a syringe.

check out arctic silver's website if you don't believe me.

edit: sorry, you mean massage it. you still can, i did with some 2 year old stuff in a syringe i used for my latest build. just to make sure. but then i'm not a six stone weakling ;0)

Do you think maybe he was talking about the 2nd sentence in that post, you know, the one with the massaging? ;)
