Chassis grounds

[sfedeli3]

Hi Don,

I usually sand the contact surfaces and connector lug and apply a thin film
of Dielectric grease. Although the grease does not conduct electricity, mating
the two surfaces with a tight connector will push it out of the way and allow
the lug and grounding surface to make a good connection. The grease repels
moisture and does a nice job of keeping the ground point clean. Don't use too
much, or it becomes a "dust magnet". I've used the stuff to waterproof the ends
of battery cable lugs and studs over the years with great results. It does not
wash off and can only be removed completely with MEK (Methyl Ethyl Ketone).

anything to paint it with or should you just tighten them after they are
cleaned. I want to clean up my grounds this summer.
