My graingers did not stock it, but could get it in very quickly.  Call first to see if they have it in stock.

When using corrosion x used on pig tails. 
Spray on or the smaller applicator bottle?

it a different formula and once on you can't get it off to do any repair work. Its not design for electronic boards and may cause problems with the electronics. A member from Seattle found that out (I live in New Jersey).

I would say that's a BIG NO!!!  That sounds like a metal corrosion inhibitor and would destroy your board.  IIRC, zink is a conductor so spraying it on your traces and component leads would not work out all that well.
