AS5 is not conductive, it's slightly capacitive. It has silver in it but the silver is suspended particles in a non conductive base.

Not Electrically Conductive:
Arctic Silver 5 was formulated to conduct heat, not electricity.
(While much safer than electrically conductive silver and copper greases, Arctic Silver 5 should be kept away from electrical traces, pins, and leads. While it is not electrically conductive, the compound is very slightly capacitive and could potentially cause problems if it bridges two close-proximity electrical paths.)

You can still *snip* up your board with it... This is why I suggested any non conductive. Sounds to me the above quote shows AS5 is still dangerous...

Edit:

pandemic, I believe AS5 has a 200 HR cure time as Shin Etsu does not have a cure time. Cure time is its maximum potential.
