I need to pull some cable through a flexi plastic conduit which is a
little on
the tight side - the cable is twin and earth and the conduit is that grey
flexi, convoluted stuff frequently seen on the continent (as it came from
there) and apparently there is a yellow lubricant I think like a thin
silicon
grease that eases its way through the conduit.
I haven't got the yellow grease,....

so the question is.... is there a suitable everyday UK alternative ?

Thanks,

Nick



A smear of margarine or washing-up liquid will do just as well. Not too
much though, just a little on the leading end for about six inches, should
work OK.
