I'm hearing you Chris. Your testing to 25# w/ no issue says a lot. What are your thoughts on the "Copper"? Is it real copper in that spray? We don't need to worry about dissimilar metal? That was the only reason I was going to try the blue dressing (not to be confused w/ RTV). If corrosion is not an issue then I'll go w/ the proven copper spray method. Bob
