Just curious, is it bad to use Arctic Silver brand thermal paste?

I can't see any reason not to other than the need to be careful it doesn't short any of the wires. Arctic silver is conductive thanks to all that silver. I used a bit of Arctic silver between my heater core and my nozzle this last time that i put it back together. The aluminum block had a bit of a rough finish and i wanted to make sure there was no air gap without going all out and lapping the block and back of the nozzle.
