NPS-Q45T on internal amplifier fuses

I have had NPS-Q45T applied on most everything in my system such as all cable connections, and most all fuses INCLUDING the internal (rails) ones in my amplifier. 
Recently someone opined that this may cause a fire hazard because it increases thermal energy. 
I have been using this setup for about a year now with no problems BUT I haven’t really taxed the system much at all. Its four SR Orange fuses with the metal ends coated. 
It was such a pain for me to remove the cover and apply the paste and I swore that I would never mess with them again but now I’m paranoid! 
 

Thoughts? 
 

Thanks!

Has anyone compared NPS-Q45T to Temuto MkII?

"...this may cause a fire hazard because it increases thermal energy."

Resistance causes heat.

NPS doesn't increase resistance, so....I'd say an increase in "thermal energy" (*ahem*) is probably nothing you need to worry about.

Did the person opining on the thermal energy creation provide some factual study performed to arrive at the conclusion and the firsthand resulting potential impact in your  application ?
