Yep it is my choice of an anti-oxident especially for underwater hardware and SS to Aluminum connections. Now speaking about the ohm meter test that was made. All , I repeat all including never Seize will read no conduction or infinity when you take an ohm meter and read the conduction of the chemical without contact with any metal. That is an invalid test. It is the reaction the ant-oxident has with the metal that makes it's magic. Now take Tefgel between two pieces of metal and see what I mean. I measured Never Seize "in plain air", Cal Lube M260Np formula from Caig labs and Tefgel. They all measured no conduction in pure air i.e. not contacting any metal surfaces. If Tefgel was an insulator then none of my AC or DC circuits would be working and of course they all are and even better than without any and just a clean surface.
All these chemical anti-oxidents have a chemical reaction with the metal it is intended to protect and take on a different characteristics like Grouper Changing Sex. Even the liquid De-Oxit displays no reading of an ohn meter by itself. However when in contact with metal it increases the metals conductivity by molecular stimulation of sorts. Crazy sounding but proven time and time again. I never argue with results even when I may not fully understand all the particulars just the results is the important issue. Bottom line follow the AYBC electrical bonding procedures or the US Navy Tempest Mil Specs to a tee and you can't go wrong. Either keep cleaning the connection on a regular basis or be smart and use TefGel or De -Oxit or Cal Lube M260Np or even messy Never Seize or NoOx. Now that some may be confused we may all think about fishing and planning our next plan of attack!I wanna go fishing Friday but everyone has family ties then. Maybe I better change my deodorant?
