> 24 hourI was pulling some additional data cable through a roughly 50% filled conduit with almost the maximum number of bends, and having some real trouble. Pulling with all my strength (and Im far from a little guy) wasnt budging the cable after a couple of tight bends. So I thought Id try this stuff. Holy cow. My tiny wife couldve pulled this, no problem. Ive since used it on wires for real electricity as well as the low volt stuff, and Im not sure how in the heck I got by before. It takes barely any of the stuff to make a night-and-day difference. I usually hate getting stuff on my hands like antifreeze or grease, but this really isnt even terribly annoying - it wipes right off of me and the wire well enough that I dont feel like Im greasing up everything I touch for the rest of the day. If youre pulling wire through bent or populated conduit and are wondering if you need this... Yes, you need it.

> 24 hourNot good. Don’t use them, when it dry would cause your wire sticking. This will damage the insulation if you continue to pull your wire. I noticed in my wire pull.

> 24 hourI could see this potentially working well to pull cable through conduit (maybe) as I have used a similar product for that use before....however, I bought it thinking it would solve a similar problem and it didnt. I figured it would work just as well to make grippy/tacky cables such as an iPhone power cable more smooth when going over some surfaces as to not get caught. I figured since it was designed to stay on a cable and keep it smooth, it should do the trick. Well, I used it generously on my OEM iPhone cables and other similar cables (studio headphone cables, XLR microphone cables, etc) with the same problem, to no avail. The compound did not remain on the cable, and also dried and the cables returned to their original sticky/tacky state. I tried multiple coats, still the same results. If it dries and returns to a tacky state so easily, how could it last long enough to pull a larger cable through conduit? Maybe I missed something, but I guess I will have to look elsewhere for now.
