 Hi all,

 Isn't it just this simple?  
 
 I want to get a good connection between two pieces of tubing, one 
 which slides inside another.  I want to clean :
 
 The inside of the larger tube (for the overlap distance) 
 &  
 The outside of the smaller tube (for the overlap distance).
 
 Then, when I slip them together (with NoAlOx) there's a metal-to-
 metal connection at the joint.  I don't believe there's any need to 
 clean any of the rest of the outside or inside of the tubes.  (Unless 
 I'm going to polish them and gold-plate them.  Remember that 
 thread?)   73, George T. Daughters, K6GT

George:  It's so you can get them apart years later if greased.  It's not for 
conduction beyond the very thin ring of connection at the diameter change.
