Is it a good idea to put Vaseline on a coax connection, or will it
damage the thread? thanks.

It won't damage anything, but it might be kinda messy. Is this
connection
outdoors?

no its a indoor connection, but I have lots of them.


If it is a perminanent connection I don't see where it will be a
problem.
Like someone else said silicone might be better, but I can't see why
vaseline won't work. Usually indoor connections don't suffer from the
corrison problems that outdoor ones do, unless say you live on the beach
and leave your windows open all the time.

Oh to clarify I meant silicone grease.. Not RTV silicone sealant


WD40's OK too.

For what? It'll wash off whatever is on there to begin with, but it won't
leave anything useful behind.
