Default DeOxit as a corrosion inhibitor

The only thing I knew for sure was minium (lead oxyde), an orange liquid.
And then a layer of painting of your choice for aspect.
But I'm not sure tu use of minium is allowed today due to lead.
It was greatly efficient;

plugged in a preamp that had DC on the output and when I switched to it
the thud was like, you would think like maybe a big bookshelf got tipped
on the floor or some ****.

Anyway, what makes Deoxit Deoxit is the reducer. It is a very small part
of the contents but the part that really does the work. I do not know
which component it is. It actually takes the oxygen out of the metal.

Now if you can get that stuff to forever be on the metal I imagine it
would be really protected. Some sort of non-volatile grease, but I don't
know if it is oil soluble.

If I were so inclined I would do a little research and find out exactly
how a reducer works, what they are, their properties and all that but
rally, I have enough going on. There has to be someone around here who
knows more. If not maybe we have to go find somewhere else.

Yeah I am interested but I am not willing to spend a week on it.

Cramolin Red did not first come in spray. Just like 100% Deoxit D100. I'll
look at that video, but can't on this old tablet.

In watching the video, I was wondering how the Rtv acedic acid reacted with
steel. I coated and removed cured rtv from copper sheet, no corrosion.

Whatever it was, I removed old NOS stuff like silver plated switches.
Around the switch was a piece of paper looking sheet. One side said towards
part. Any part sticking out of paper had turned black. I still have some
pads to stick inside sensitive equipment said to protect. Never tried them.
