Silicone Grease

Silicone is a wondrous material.  It has so many uses and comes in quite a few forms. 

Let us consider Silicone Grease.  It exhibits excellent dielectric properties.  It can be used inside UHF connectors before they are wrapped for outdoor waterproofing. It can be used on spark plug wire boots to facilitate easy removal. Silicone grease is safe for plastic and paint.  It can be applied as a lubricant to plastic, such as drawer runners. Lubricating refrigerator drawers is my XYL's favorite usage. 

I have used it to lubricate sticky mic PTT buttons.  (No one wants to be THAT guy who gets his mic stuck on keying the repeater for hours.)
