Anti-oxidant grease question
Joe S. wrote:
(snip) I have found a source of anti-oxidant grease that's used on electrical connections and I will put this stuff on the connector-mount junction to prevent further oxidation. Here's the question: Do I loosen the nut and put grease between the nut and the antenna mount -- similar to putting thermal grease between a heat sink and the surface of a transistor -- or, do I tighten the nut and smear grease on the outside, not on the mating surfaces? I suspect I should put the grease on the mating surfaces between the nut and the mount -- loosen the nut, smear on grease, tighten the nut. The anytioxidant has to be in intimate contact with the metal surfaces before they are clamped together. Here is a site that tells how to use one version, Penetrox-A. The details are about 1/4 of the way down: http://www.inspect-ny.com/aluminum/alreduce.htm#1A |
