Its terrible for RF, I might point out. One thing you don't want on your transmission lines is a thick silver oxide coating. Highly resistive. If you have oil refineries in your area or other sulfur-producing plants in the area, those unprotected silver-coated boards will turn black fast. We once cleaned all the plate lines of a 6kw transmitter with Tarn-X from black to shiny and witnessed a shocking 40% increase in efficiency. And this was at a relatively low frequency, 100 Mhz. Solved his pesky power output problem.
