I have an aluminum puck mount that is mounted to aluminum and after a year or so the mount gets corrosion on it. Any conductive paint or coating or other I could use to stop it? Thanks.

Aluminum to aluminum conductive coating or paint or ?

Clean the conductive mating surfaces and apply zinc conductive anti-seize compound, tighten down, wipe off any excess anti-seize, then apply a coating of Boeshield T-9 to the outer surfaces and wipe dry (repeat every 3 months). The Zinc antisieze is meant for aluminum joints and will keep oxygen out and the boeshield will dry with a thin waxy finish (even though it is a lubricant) and will keep oxygen off the surfaces.
Thank you. I have read that one, but T-9 was not mentioned. I read the anti-seize may harden if left on a long time? I was looking at conductive graphite spray coating, every hear of using that?
Graphite is also compatible with aluminum. I've never tried it though.
The closest thing I've ever came to a graphite paint is in a grain gravity box. After we painted it, it was impossible to climb up the side! I wish I had tested the conductivity because that was some durable stuff. The guy I worked for is dead so I can't ask him what it was.
