Default Vaseline on coax connection?

WD40 has an advantage as
it chases off moisture present when you are making the joint. That's why
I spray the connectors and the made-off ends of the cable BEFORE I put
the connectors on. As insurance, I then spray again AFTER I have made
the joint.


If evaporation, as the WD40 spray leaves the pressurized can, and as it
sits on the connector, lowers the temperature below the dew-point,
you could end up introducing moisture rather than driving it out.
