[Elecraft] Dielectric grease during K3 assembly??

I am new to amatuer radio, and just ordered a K3.  I feel like a kid at
christmas time waiting for santa... reviewing everything I can about the
"toy" that is coming.

Have been reading the past twenty or so mail list digests and have read the
assembly manual a couple of times to familiarize myself with it as much as
possible.

My background is in the automotive field, and the millivolts / milliamps in
the various circuits are sensitive to oxidation and fretting even in the
"weatherpak" connections used. To help prevent this we use a very small
amount of dielectric grease on connections. 

Nowhere in the manual have I come across any mention if using this, nor did
I find anything in searching the archives.

I would appreciate your thoughts on using dielectric grease during the
assembly process.

Thanks in advance
