I would try an electrical supply outlet that caters to contractors. They
typically carry that sort of thing. However, last year when I installed my
Mosley PRO-67B, a conversation with the President of Mosley indicated that
there is a wide variety of the conductive "goop", so I'd somehow find out how
to quantify the conductivity and life characteristics of what the suppliers
have available. Penetrox is one brand name I have heard of.
