[BULK] - [TowerTalk] aluminum protecting compound.

[Steve Katz]

I don't know what a "C8" is, but in general (aluminum oxide problem), two
readily available products solve this problem: NoAlOx or OxGuard.  Both
available at electrical supply houses anywhere, and I've found OxGuard also
at Home Depot.  -WB2WIK/6
