[AMRadio] Dow Corning DC 4

[Jim Wilhite]

That is what prompted me to look about for the Dow Corning product.  At 
the local auto parts store they sell what the call bulb grease.  I 
purchased a packet some time back for a connector that I installed on my 
trailer and there was just enough for that one connector.   It is in a 
small packet like those sent with antennas.  There is no identification 
of what is contained in the packet so I decided to look for the DC 4 
alternative.  Not only that but they charge a lot of money for the small 
packets.

I am guessing it is the same thing, but no one could tell me and I did 
not want to contaminate the connector should it not be compatible.
