Since the color SinkPADs aren’t available, having a DTP solution has been bugging me. Since the LZ1 thermal slug extends into the cathode and anode pads, your solution was to cut the traces of the center two pads of the cathode and anode of the color SinkPAD.
Then I stumbled upon this thread where djozz made a XML Color board from a 16mm round XML SinkPAD. He cut through the traces with a scalpel, checked for continuity and filled the cuts in with Arctic Alumina to keep the solder out of where it shouldn’t go.

Then I had a brainfart after seeing how the traces of the 16mm round look and came up with a idea on mounting a LZ1 on a 16mm round SinkPad. I’d prefer to use a the 20mm star so I could use a host like a Convoy M1 or M2 but I can’t find any high res shots of the 20mm SinkPAD to see how the traces look on that model.
What do you think? Will my brainfart work or did I just end up having diarrhea of the brain?
