Wet copper usually meant that there was a DC loading on the circuit
90volt if I remember correctly
The idea was that if there was a marginal connection somwhere in the wiring
this loading would cause a spark thereby welding the join back up
I've been told that most circuits today are dry (No DC load)
I guess the wiring looms they use today are of better quality
