Scott, in one of my former lives I used to do printer servicing for IBM. We used an oil type of material (about the consistency of mineral oil) to lube and protect the fingers and sockets. I cannot remember the name of the material, but if you can contact your local IBM printer service engineer he can probably tell you where you can get it. It is used very sparingly!
Good luck.

We are inserting a backplane board with gold fingers into a mother board with three connectors to accept the gold fingers.
Is anyone out there that has heard of, or is using some sort of lubricant to insert boards into such connectors?
If you are what are you using?
