> 3 dayI bought and used this grease to lubricate the stabilizers on my keyboard spacebar. My spacebar was rattling on the right side and didnt feel as good as the other keys on my mechanical keyboard. I used a keycap remover to help take the spacebar off they keyboard and applied this dielectric grease to the stabilizer where plastic was sliding past plastic, using a safety pin to get it into the small space. I put the spacebar back on, and its now quiet and has a nice smooth feeling like my other keys. Totally satisfied! Based on that success, I also used this to lubricate some cheap plastic drawers I got a while ago that hang underneath my desk. They slid with plastic on plastic. Liberally applying this grease on the surfaces that rub against each other in the drawers has now let them slide more smoothly, with the unpleasant plastic-on-plastic screech now much quieter.

> 3 dayThis grease is easy to use out of its own container. You can use a little or a lot according to your application. The grease definitely works to help lubricate electrical connections.

> 3 dayThis is 3 oz of silicone grease (dielectric grease). I paid around $8 and the ad showed a package with Japanese writing on it. Who cares? The same product with English labeling in the ad was twice the price. Ended up receiving the latter anyways. For comparison, a half-ounce tube of Danco Grease is $4. Good stuff and a good applicator tip, but pricey. I use this for protecting electrical connections on automotive wiring and soldered joints before wrapping them in heat shrink tubing. I also use this for lubricating my o-rings on scuba gear and underwater flashlights. Not a bad idea for your home flashlights if you do any camping and risk exposure to rain, too. Silicone grease is also sold for plumbing applications (faucet grease), but that application only sees very occasional use. This is not high-temp lube and will burn if you get it super hot. So dont be applying it to your sparkplug threads--modern plugs dont even require lube or anti-seize anymore. But its also great to apply to your cars battery terminal connectors, inside and out, to prevent corrosion thats accelerated by atmospheric humidity. Yes, it is likely that I will never need to buy another tube of silicone/dielectric grease again. Others have complained that the caps are prone to breakage, thus rendering these tubes useless without a cap. Even if the cap quality is defective, I see no reason why a replacement cap cant be easily located (even from a tube of toothpaste, perhaps!). Its not like theyre using proprietary threading on the tube neck... So cap breakage is not really a concern to me. That said, for the Average Joe, this tube could last a lifetime. Your offspring will be delighted to receive a half tube of this grease when you pass. Another complaint is that its difficult to apply with the toothpaste-tube shaped nozzle instead of a pointed applicator nozzle. Big deal. For electrical connections you can use a toothpick or your fingers. For o-rings I use my fingers. For plumbing applications youre probably going to slather it on anyways and clean up the excess. Would a pointed tube be better? Sure. Is it essential? No. Could you probably locate one if you really wanted it? Probably. This stuff is translucent in bulk, but is essentially transparent at the thicknesses typically used. Good stuff. Fraction of the price of my other favorite little tubes of Danco, and will last a looong time if youre not a plumber or are prone to giving up on life if a little plastic cap breaks!

> 3 dayI purchased this Dielectric tuneup grease a week or so ago to use during the tuneup of my car. This was to be the first tuneup I had ever done, so I wanted to make sure I was doing it correctly. For those who dont know what this is or how to use it properly, dielectric grease is used during the installation of new spark plug boots. It is NOT (as I first thought) a product to ensure proper conductivity between the spark plugs themselves and the wires. It is used around the very edges of the spark plug boot to prevent arcing, and therefore should be used sparingly. Dielectric grease is an insulator, and will not help (and may hinder) the electric connection between plugs are wires. This is a small tube, but is more than enough to last through several tune ups. Its sitting in my trunk along with the rest of my car-related tools, and will stay there until needed next. Overall? Highly recommended.
