Now that this has been brought up,.......

The T-368 owners have found that the past problems
with the interlocks are eliminated by the use of the
same oxidation inhibitor that electricians use on
aluminum wire.

The sintered zinc particles break through what
oxidation is there and the parafin carrier keeps
further oxidation from happening.

May be better than De-oxit on ground connections?
