Thoughts on mounting Ultimak mount

I've ordered Ultimak yesterday.
Would it make sense to take the thermal compound that is used to fill the microscopic gaps between a CPU and a heatsink of a computer and use it between the barel and the Ultimak rail?

That should improve heat transfer from the barrel to the mount, helping distribute it more evenly and cool the whole thing faster gue to increased surface.

I'm new to the mini-14 (stls/syn for 4 months) but lots of years with hot cpu's. Instead of the white grease, how about using thermal tape?
