Back in the early 80's Some companies tried to
cook up a cheap

soaked in some black so-called conductive mixture and then (i'm assuming
here) baked to a solid consistency. Flamable and ate and blackened IC
leads after a few months.
I wonder if that's the stuff I've run into? The parts I found damaged were
mainly 60s and 70s vintage though, the bulk of them logic chips.
