I recently posted, to ask about corrosion resistance
stuff for electrical terminals. My final decision was
to select dielectric grease. My best source turned
out to be Advance Auto Parts and Battery, they had
the best price, and it was local to me. Six bucks for
three ounces.

They also had Seal All, and Gorilla Glue, which I
both used within the last year or so. Seal all, to seal
the leaky seam of a metal kerosene lantern. And the
gorilla Glue to do a couple wood working repairs at
the church. The Seal All was well priced, 4.99 for 2
ounce tube.

I had used Noalox, to lubricate the threads of my mini
mag. The lens to turn on was a bit "gritty" feeling, so
I cleaned it all out with spray oil and cotton swabs.
And clean out the end cap. I decided to use some of
that new dia grease on the mini mag.

I had remembered that I'd put Noalox on the threads of
the tail caps of several other aluminum body flash lights.
I went to investigate, and see how they were doing. A
couple of them were just grey gooped, and one looked
like the Noalox had etched the threads a bit, they weren't
quite the same. Might have also removed some of the
anoidzing. Not good.

More spray oil, and more cotton swabs. Some of the
grey had dried, and I had to scrape it out with the top
of a small slotted screw driver. Coat the threads with
dielectric grease, and hope that works better than the
grey aluminum antioxidant Noalox suff.

Some metal content. Hope it's a help to someone
out there.
