Any kind of metal reverts back to its original state over time heading towards its natural element. It's named with several different types of corrosion. It's why aluminum aircraft all corrode way faster then the flying public would want to know. It turns to a white power loosing its integrity on the way back to its roots from where it came.
If you treat a contact point it will not last forever, if it did aircraft mechanics would be out of work, most are anyway but thatâs another story. Begali plates his keys better than most manufactures. This very topic tells me something went awry least this would never be necessary but once done, it's anything but finished but instead just the opposite. k3ey k2/100 Licensed aircraft mechanic and journeyman machinist looking to the day I can retire and play radio all day, maybe fish now and then too.

I put the stuff on my keys a couple of years ago and haven't had any problems since. I think it will last indefinitely. I learned about the stuff on this reflector, so I suspect there are those with even longer experience who may want to chime in. best wishes, dave belsley, w1euy On May 24, 2006, at 9:54 PM, Kenneth Moorman wrote: > Hi David, > > How long will the Deoxit treatment last? > > Thanks, > > Ken, NU4I > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "David A.
