< I have heard all kinds of reasons why to not use my method.
<The only one that I agree with is that once the grease is
<on a part, you can't get stamped ink to stick to the surface.

The only reason I know is that it's hard to remove the silicon oils
and you cant solder through it.

The contacts should be cleaned first, a little bit of silicon based grease
or oil is ok to protect the surface but globs of it is not desireable.

If you have solder problems keep the silicon grease away until fixed!
