The particular brand I use is No-Ox, made by Hubbell. Any electrical/electronic house worthy of its name will stock some flavor of this stuff. Even if you are spending your time wringing together 4/0 terminations, a bottle of this will last a long, long time, so, spring for some and smear it on every Vanagon electrical connection which you can find. Also, don't forget to smear a little on the bases of any lamps (aka, bulbs). George of the Wasteland |
