silicone spray grease

[richievtu]

evening all

I want some silicone grease in an aerosol for waterproofing electrical connections, can anyone recommend a brand as a lot of it appears to be silicone spray which I already have and isnt the same thing, is it?

Maplins have some

Local car shop sells spray silicone grease. No doubt Halfords stock it as well.

Assumed it was internet only as local agri store didnt have it last time I enquired.

No idea what it was but at one of the boatshows there was a guy selling some spray and demo was on a light then put in a fish tank and it worked.....someone should know what it was.

To protect your electrical connections you could use vaseline but much better to use proper electrical grease. It is particularly important for masthead connections where you don't want any connection concerns.

SCUBA Dive shops also sell silicone spray but it is not high viscosity, not sure how stiff the Maplins product is.
I have Dow Corning silicone compound, some in a tube and some in a tub.
