Maplin Multi Purpose Electronics Silicone Grease Lubricant 50G

Excellent for waterproofing connections. Servisol service aids are an industry standard .

Great product, but expensive

The grease that I received is branded 'Kontakt Chemie' and not Servisol - I needed another tube of this grease, the first having lasted for many years, and I thought that I'd pay extra and get another tube of Servisol as that has been superb. The tube that I received has another brand name on, but shared the same UK manufacturers address and does appear to be the same, rather excellent thick silicon grease - however as it has a different brand name to the advertisement, I'm dropping a star.

I bought this as I had read online that it helps protect LNB connections from oxidising and prevents dampness getting into the LNB to prolong life, while also assisting with fitting the F Connector to the cable. As I was fitting a new Quad LNB which didn't have an F-Connector cover and I'd been having all sorts of problems with my reception which I figured was the LNB I decided I would use this as well to do a proper job. Also I'd had to put new cables in, and whereas the old ones where copper shielded the new ones were not copper shielded (cheaper, steel I'm guessing). Guidance online said a small amount should be smeared on the central copper conductor as well as in the obvious places for waterproofing. I was concerned putting an insulator onto the main conductor would hamper the connection. However this in combination with the new LNB resulted 100% signal strength and a 95% quality connection with no realignment. Probably in the main down to the new LNB but I am reasonably confident I've got a good connection, time will tell.

I couldn't turn my gas hob on .try pliers everything. Then sore this ,bought it pur small amount on ,only left it for five minutes, could,not believe it worked so quickly. Best buy.
