No, it is mineral oil based

Petroleum products are more likely to interact chemically with the insulation, they will *probably* not do any harm, but it is more of a risk than with silicone. Also they are inflammable.

It is not suitable use with for the £100 vibrator I have bought the gf for Christmas. It's supposed to have a 10 year warranty and has PowerBullet technology.

Interestingly, this is *not* silicone. I rather suspect it is something like KY Jelly with a fungicide; it will eventually dry out. I certainly would not have any concerns over compatibility with a proper cable lubricating product like this.

Sprays like this just produce a mist; toolstation has something similar. The only downside is that they disperse a bit quickly. OTOH the silicone fluid sold by Wickes etc for lubricating gutters, pushfit waste fittings, etc is more persistant (but relatively expensive). A lot depends on how quickly you will be able to finish the job.

We both get to play with it and she can play with it when am not with her.
I could have bought a 14 way RCBO CU for less that it cost me at Pulse and Cocktails last week.

Thanks for that one, Dave - I staggered them each by about 8" and it just did the trick perfectly (and lube-free!) :)

I had to poke some coax through a tight hole. and Boots Moisturising Cream worked fine.
What about Savlon? When replacing a car water pump on the side of the A1 in Yorkshire, I once used it as a jointing compound (plus a thin cardboard gasket made from a box of tissues).
And has anyone mentioned WD40? I've never found WD40 adversely affect cables in any way whatsoever.
