The Kopr-shield will work fine on switch contacts - don't know
why I was thinking relay contacts.

Sounds like it might be similar to copper slip, last time I got that on
switch contacts it produced a whisp of smoke as the metal particles formed a
leakage path between contacts.
 
The Moly Slip branded Copaslip (a similar Product is Copper
Ease) I know is just a high temperature anti seize grease see

As they say here Copaslip is often misspelled as copperslip or
coppaslip.

In any event, Kopr Shield is extremely adhesive and tacky rather
than greasy so I doubt it will smoke the switches.

The observations here are also relevant
http://old.nabble.com/Re:-Kopr-Shield-p21613980.html ie.
Kopr -Shield only needs to be applied sparingly and will not
form a conductive path unless compressed.

I have never seen or used it but an alternative to Kopr-Shield
may be GB (Gardner Bender) Ox-Guard. See
