    I always use copper antiseize, trick for promoting better contact from racing days

    Very light amount of any Metal-infused Anti-seize (most are copper or aluminum) acceptable for use when installing spark plugs.

    Especially important in saltwater applications.

    Yes I am in saltwater and always used it on plugs and any thing else with threads and never had a problem.

    I always use a light dab of anti-seize on my plugs.

    The copper will promote conductivity and assist in a spark as strong as it can be
