I think what you are looking for is called dielectric grease.
Home Depot carries it.

Odd it happens after the bulb has been on for some time.
Almost sounds like the metal is getting hot and expanding slightly - just enough to lose contact. Might be worth trying to very gently bend the contact upwards for a better contact.
