Preventing oxidation of copper outdoors

Since I live in the RustBelt and know what oxidized
copper looks like, I wonder if I should use this on
my PCB to keep the copper from contacting moist air?
My PCB will be used outside in a plastic box. The
plastic box will be waterproof, but not airtight.
I am guessing the Liquid Tin and leaded solder ap-
plied to the traces will prevent oxidation. I just
want to know if anybody has had experience with this
product or, if my thinking is wrong.
Has anybody used this product on a copper PCB used
outdoors? If yes, would you recommend it? Or
would something cheaper like this

work just as well?
