I'm looking for help in the use of silicone grease on connectors, such as
PL259's. I have Dow Corning #4 silicone compound.
Exactly how does one use this on the connector? Will it short out the center
conductor to the outside braid (does it conduct)? Will it prevent a good
connection by creating a barrier between the center conductor by not allowing
a "metal to metal" contact?
I was reading through the archives and it seems that it's used quite a bit by
professional installers (ie cable co). But, I'm not real sure on it's proper
use from what information I was able to collect from the archive.
Thank you for your help.
