It'll just glue your hsf to the cpu, which is a Bad Thing! Just shell out the little extra for the thermal paste as well, it's not too much :-)

I know a guy who put some epoxy on his CPU.

He tried the freeze-crack method. To make a long story short, he yanked his whole core right off the processor (Attached to his heatsink).
