 Penetrox A is Zinc, Penetrox B is copper. They have different
 voltage ratings. Not germane to RF.

Penatrox is great on cad bolts as I explained.  Why don't they make a giant 
leap forward and add aluminum particles just to be as sure as possible and 
remove all doubts of a corrosion possibility and so that all the nit pickers 
couldn't find anything wrong with it?  Unfortunately it still turns hard over 
a period time.  2 factors against something is enough to look for something 
else--like AntiSeize with aluminum particles.   Penatrox would be great for 
Zinc coated elements  K7GCO
