Might be a 'great' LUBE, but what about electrical/electronics use?   
Dissimilar metals play havoc with some joints.

Had a bad time with 'birdies' due to one dissimilar joint where I had  
grounded a coax line at the base of a tower with copper strap secured  
to the aluminum tower using Noalox.  Seems the copper/aluminum  
junction rectified every shortwave station that the tri-band yagi heard!
