If you reapply paste and the temps stay hot, you can always try one of these, I loved mine when I had a laptop:

Let's see...
> ...aluminum plate to use as a laptop surface.
> I've used cheap carbon fiber in the past but found it heavy...
> ...could use the heat sinking properties of aluminum for my application.
> Literally going to be a rectangular plate of aluminum to place a laptop on. ...not be affixed to anything, ever
Well. Two things:
A) Chances are good that the aluminum plate is not going to make a measurable difference in the temperature of your laptop because it'll not have a conductive link to the heat source or provide a dramatic improvement in airflow compared to other rigid surfaces such as the "cheap carbon fiber" you mentioned.
B) Aluminum is 2-5x heavier than CF to obtain the same rigidity for this application.
If you really think about your application of supporting the laptop (presumably in your lap) while helping it cool down, then you only have two options: 1) Rigid support that does not obstruct airflow around the laptop. 2) Mechanisms that provide additional airflow.
Another logical goal here is to prevent that heat from accumulating in one's body/groin. For that reason, it's best to have an insulative layer on bottom of the surface to act as a heat shield.
Now, if you look at commercial solutions they focus on just facets 1 and 2, and most all of them consist of raised mesh surfaces with or without fans. My suggestion is buy something commercial from a bargain bin, or if you like to DIY follow a guide like this one.
You could get one of these, maybe?
