No, but the only place I use it is poured into the concrete base for my 
towers for bonding to the tower and the radial system.

I wouldn't use braid outside, but inside, if the connections are 
soldered on each end, I wouldn't worry about corrosion unless the braid 
is already in bad shape. I put braid used in this manner inside heat 
shrink. I use #4 stranded copper for bonding between rods.
