[quote=traphappy]Throwing out an idea here. Just spoke by phone to the inventor of Tef-gel, the stuff that prevents corrosion between dissimilar metals. I asked him why sailboat riggers do not put this stuff into the rigging before making the swages. Short answer is that they like to sell replacement rigging... There's no concern that the gel will cause rigging to slip apart or anything like that. All it will do, apparently, is isolate the stainless (which does corrode if left untreated) for a decade or more. This would effectively eliminate the main reason for changing rigging at 3-year intervals, corrosion within the joints from slightly dissimilar metals.[/quote]
