When you dose up threads, the metal to metal
conducts just fine. The grease fills the air
spaces, and helps keep water out.

However, if there is some grease trail between
connector A and connector B, you'd not want
power to leak from one to the other.


Well put. I don't think I ever got it before.


Some times, the light bulb goes on....

I've had bad experiences with Ox-Gard or
No-Al-Ox, the grey stuff meant for coating
aluminum wires in panel boxes. Seems to be
a bit agressive, and has eaten away terminals.
