I was under the assumption that using nail polish remover was bad because it leaves a residue behind. Use some alcohol wipes ore 90% isopropyl alcohol and coffee filters. The proper way to apply TIM on a quad is a line going across the cores. Look it up though because i dont remember which direction the cores run.

your assumption would be correct. high spirits alcohol is much better than fingernail polish.

If you really want to redo it, use pliers to turn the screws, if you can.

If you do that you'll wreck a board if it slips

The Tuniq tower screws can't be screwed on THAT tight that pliers will have problems unscrewing them and might slip. Only fingers have problems unscrewing them, which is why I found it much easy to use pliers to carefully help unscrew the TT screws.
