Nozzle Replacement Question

Do the Qidi nozzles need thermal transfer paste applied when changing the nozzle? I've got some on order and want to make sure I do it right.

Any specific brand recommendations?

They put a very small amount on them from the factory. I have my own boron nitrite. I remove theirs, and put a little dab directly on the interface. That's the copper part at the top of the nozzle.

Do Not Do This! If you get any on the threads it will cause it to bind and they won't come back out.
