Hey Z!!!!!
I don't know which one of those you picked, but did you try checking an auto parts store? I've bought the dielectric grease at the local DIY auto parts places, but I don't know which ones you might have in the UK. I got my No-OX from Provape, so I paid a bit more for it since it was for the Provari and not for my car project.
Gold plating / copper threads, the loctite will not cause a voltage drop, and will hold up to high heat (hoping you won't need that benefit), a little goes a long way's
Try using rubber or neoprene to unscrew parts, if it ever happens again

My hubby works for u s pipe and both the razor and sewing oil is fine to use on the threads as long as it's not dripping off, lightly lubed. I do have some of the industrial stuff they use too!
Dielectric Grease vs Conductive Grease
Here is way more information about the grease than anyone may want. I use the silicone myself because it doesn't seem to hurt rubber. When I replaced the computer on my car, it said to put a dielectric grease in the plug before attaching the power to the computer, so I just did it because they said to. I have also used it for other electric connections on the car that are exposed to weather, and it does seem to keep things from sticking together. YMMV.
If you do use silicone grease, go lightly. It will make everything slicker than snot and gets all over everything until you can get your hands and anything you touched washed off. I had some fun times after I got the stuff on the door knob to my house and it took a while for me to remember what I was doing the last time I could open the door with out falling over as I tried to get a good grip to turn the darn thing.
