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 ?
Hellerman sleeve oil - that's what's used to ease rubber sleeves onto
electronic cable. Electronics suppliers like RS etc. Quite pricey, but a
little goes a long way, and it keeps well.
Other thing might be a medical lubricant safe on latex etc gloves?
Probably more expensive, though.
