Default WIRE SOAP, ANYONE?

That shouldn't be too hard of a pull through 4". How many bends?. If only 2,
try having a helper push while you pull. May not even need any lube. YMMV

This time, I need to pull 150 feet or more of 3 conductors of 4/0 wire
through 4 inch, pvc conduit.

Does anyone have suggestions for a cheap solution - pardon pun?

This wire is some sort of vinyl or rubber compound outer insulation and I
do not wish to chance petroleum distillates or some such to lubricate it.
Yes, they do make a wire soap for pulling through a conduit but, I don't
have any, live in the country and would like to find an alternative.

Thanks
