Your point about contact enhancers is certainly relevant, but so far no one has reported this phenomenon with the Walker SST. For whatever it's worth, Lloyd Walker states that one of the best uses of this product is on tube pins in power amplifiers. And some tweaker on another website reported that he heated SST with a torch and it did not either liquefy or turn into a varnish. OTOH, I confess that I have so far refrained from using SST on the pins of tubes in my amplifiers, although I use it elsewhere in my system (where heating is insignificant) to great advantage. Anyway, I doubt that SST would prevent corrosion/erosion of the tube sockets. The heat is still there regardless. (Remember that the problem seems to be mainly with the socket, not with the pins on the tubes, as I understand what others have reported.)
