Marvin:
Years ago I went through the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum and noticed, on the early space capsule on display (Mercury?) that the wiring was all to 1/4" pushons and spade lugs and that every one of them was daubed with still-shiny gobs of what looked exactly like white silicone sealant. I suppose, out of fear of sparks or unknown outer space corrosion.
But I have since seen warnings against silicone on copper wire as being corrosive in itself.
So, if you know that some is and some isn't good, is there a way to know which is which (that you know)?
