Funny…Quick-Cote is what I referred to in my post Wednesday about this, that we got through AEE. I don’t ever recall it drying out, and we’re in a dry desert climate. Nor have I ever (unless it’s really dirty) cleaned it off and reapplied it, even when replacing batteries using the same previously-coated interconnects. That’s not to say you’re wrong, Dan, just to note how two Wrenches can draw different conclusions from similar experiences.
Allan Interstate battery sells a goo called quick coat. (By quick cable). seems to work pretty good. The only problem I've had with it is that it can dry out and get waxy so you need to be sure you clean it all off and reapply it if you need to interrupt the connections. (and don't forget to torque). db Dan Brown President Foxfire Energy Corp.

Ours is Burndy Penetrox, a thick gray paste that we apply with an old toothbrush and work it on good so it's not too thick but everything's well covered. It's much thicker than Vaseline so it never melts or runs. One bottle lasts us a year or two. Terminals that are many years old look like the day they were applied.
