Hi

 This is abslutely not true. I use DC#4 and it works great. I is often used

in high voltage applications and an insulator so I doubt it is conductive

in any way.

 I posted about experiments I've done while at Intel, years ago.

It improved gold on gold contacts from 10-15 milliohms to less than

2 milliohms. This all while being non-conductive.
