XtremeAV Quicksilver Gold alternative?

They now sell it in a smaller amount to make it cost less, and Brian Kyle can send anyone the oil in case someone's older stock has dried a bit.

I think the problem is that some people use too much. Less is more, just a very fine dusting I think is best. Perhaps Ozzy used it like paint, which I could see causing a problem. I have used it on a number of items, and have found improvement. I am still too chicken to put it on Vacuum tube pins though.

As far as alternatives, I don;t know if anything like this is cheaper. All these type products use gold or silver particles, which are at high prices currently.

The way to get less than the brush stroke Ozzy mentioned, is to thin the QSG's paint brush load out on the plastic spatula first, loading the brush with a thin coat. This lets you apply just a fine layer on the desired connection. I often end up with so little on the brush at times, I have to paint the connection several times to get just the right amount of QSG on.

Brian says that actually it forms an airtight seal that helps stop oxidation. I suppose if that is true that it would be variable on the amount used.

Of course we still need a great cleaner before applying any type of enhancer.

I use progold (sometimes deoxit first) then alcohol after to get off any residue. I used to use Kontac many years ago and liked it. Anyone still use it? I think it was developed by aerospace.
