[Milsurplus] Tradenames for dielectric silicone grease used in OE-254/GRC assembly

[Bob kb8tq]

HI

Permatex 22058 Dielectric Tune-Up Grease, 3 oz. Tube

Amazon sells it for about $7. I suspect your local auto supply store has it for roughly the same price.

From my experience with that antenna, the TM specifies a dielectric silicone grease on the copper-to-copper joints in the radials to prevent them from freezing up. I believe technically this is poly(dimethyl)siloxane & it comes in tubes. It's also handy for use as a moisture barrier in outdoor coax cable connections. Can anyone name some commercial sources & brandnames for this stuff? I originally got mine as a gift from a DowCorning distributor because it would have cost him more to sell it to me.
