I also have discovered the powerful anti-corrosion properties of No-Ox-Id "A
Special." I live away from the electric grid and depend on thousands of
pounds of lead acid batteries for power when the sun isn't shining. When I
bought my first set of batteries, the vendor included a quart can of
No-Ox-Id "A Special." I spread it on all the bare metal connectors around
the batteries, using a cheap flux brush. After close to 20 years, the
copper coated with it is still almost bright. The places I missed rapidly
tarnished and started corroding from the fumes given off when charging
batteries.
Of course, that's a pretty harsh environment. No-Ox-Id "A Special" works,
but I'm not sure it's needed on our airplanes. I didn't use it when
building my airplane.
