Ive see the center conductor of RG214 dissolved through with RTV. The
corrosion on the associated Al/Cu joint was likewise disgusting.

And I've used the acetic acid-curing variety many times on bare copper
(wire and PC board traces) and aluminum, and not a hint of corrosion
when it was cut off long after. Besides the wide variety of
formulations, there may be other factors at work causing the
corrosiveness to vary so much.
