Hi, Eric --
Penetrox is a anti-oxidant used on electrical connections. It only
works on the direct connection (under a nut and bolt, etc.) and has to be
under compression (the same nut and bolt) in order to work. Anything not under
the direct connection is superfluous and will probably wash away so it's doing
exactly what you'd expect - protect the connection and disappear if not in
use.
Cheers,
