Actually, silver doesn't oxidize- it reacts to sulfides and forms Acanthite (Ag2S), also known as Silver Sulfide. As long as the spray doesn't have any sulfur/sulfide compounds, you should be OK. Silver tarnish is still a decent conductor, when compared to copper oxide. I was unaware that there was a "spray coating" of Teflon that could be applied in such a manner as to "seal" the conductors. If you are referring to Silicone spray lubricant- forget it- it won't seal your conductors. If it isn't a lubricant, I'd be interested in what manufacturer makes this spray. Thx.
