Stainless steel thumb screws into aluminum rods at a seacoast
led me to create many new curse words.
I also made the mistake of assuming Dielectric Grease would hurt electrical connections
because I had been lectured over and over that
“Grounding connections to divert lightning strikes to Earth ground must be kept totally free of paint or visible corrosion”
Same basic approach. I've had people tell me not to use dielectric grease on light bulbs "because it insulates the bulb". No, you still have electrical continuity at the mechanical contact points. The grease just fills the voids to prevent corrosion.
