Talk:Silicone grease

message: Some research is needed on Electrical conduction of dielectric grease versus regular grease(which is also nonconductive)?--Ericg33 (talk) 10:39, 9 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends in the "stationary contact". It might be acceptable to use to coat the electrical contacts on a boat trailer, but it should not be used to seal low voltage, low current data connectors. The pins on a boat trailer connector are not reliant on a low-resistance circuit in order to light the lights on the boat. But if you put dielectric grease on a data connector, which is passing megabytes of digital data per second at a few volts and a few microamps of current, you're probably going to get data errors. That's why many of those contacts are gold plated. Martylunsford (talk) 15:59, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

message: This article is written in an amateurish manner.  Much of what is written here appears to be the authors' opinions.  The article has five sections, but only one reference is cited.  The "Consumer uses" section mentions the use of silicone for condom lubrication.  The title of this article is "Silicone grease."  Who in the world is using silicone grease as a sexual lubricant?  The article, "Silicone oil" already exists.  It would be more appropriate to edit "Silicone oil" to include silicone sexual lubricant information, with references of course.  Furthermore, silicone grease (lubricating) and silicone dielectric (insulating) are two similar substances comprised of substantially incompatible components for separate purposes.  This article should be edited to contain information that only regards silicone grease.  Content about silicone dielectric should appear in a newly created article titled "Silicone dielectric."  Lastly, talk pages are for discussing Wikipedia articles.  Discussing personal experience, even if it's on subject, isn't helpful. One cannot cite personal experience.--184.202.252.244 (talk) 22:12, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

message: Satcure recommend the use of silicone grease on satellite TV cable connections.
They have produced a write-up refuting objections here - http://www.satcure.co.uk/tech/silicone2.htm
Unable to vouch for their science, but they do have many years of practical experience in the notoriously humid UK environment.Mikehimself (talk) 10:05, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Use with satelliteTV connectors. 

message: It seemed good to check before making any changes, but should the article contain something like:
"Silicone Grease is not normally used as a lubricant."
