Permatex 22058 Dielectric Tune-Up Grease, 3 oz. Tube

I bought and used this grease to lubricate the stabilizers on my keyboard spacebar. My spacebar was rattling on the right side and didnt feel as good as the other keys on my mechanical keyboard. I used a keycap remover to help take the spacebar off they keyboard and applied this dielectric grease to the stabilizer where plastic was sliding past plastic, using a safety pin to get it into the small space. I put the spacebar back on, and its now quiet and has a nice smooth feeling like my other keys. Totally satisfied! Based on that success, I also used this to lubricate some cheap plastic drawers I got a while ago that hang underneath my desk. They slid with plastic on plastic. Liberally applying this grease on the surfaces that rub against each other in the drawers has now let them slide more smoothly, with the unpleasant plastic-on-plastic screech now much quieter.

Good quality. Competitive price.

Not a lot to say if your familiar with Permatex automotive products this is pretty par for the course of what you can expect from them. A good product that does what it’s designed to do.

Works good

First off let me tell you, if you buy this for switch lubbing on mechanical keyboards, you have a lifetime supply, Id say for this purpose, you get a lot for the money , I lubed a 60% Red switches keyboard, the RK61 specifically, keep in mind its not hotswappable, I still lubed the stabs and switch sides , it feels completely like a different keyboard. So smooth! It was my first time lubing , the grease is pretty much odorless , and if you smell a tiny bit of it, its not a bad smell, very neutral indeed. Great product! I totally expected the tube to be so much smaller though lol :)

I use silicone grease liberally for automotive purposes. Its an excellent dressing for rubber parts in addition to general lubrication. Unfortunately I now have a pretty full tube of it and no cap. So its a big mess and a lot of wasted lube in my tool drawer. All I did was put the cap on. And the plastic cap broke apart. If you buy this, do yourself a favor and get a tube of cheap toothpaste at the same time. Youll need the spare cap.

If you havent used dielectric grease before, youll like it. A little goes a long way. I use it on the inside of spark plug boots. It seals them, and makes it easier to get them on and off. Any underhood electrical connector benefits from a small amount of this, because it helps seal against water, while making disconnecting/reconnecting much easier. It has roughly the same viscosity as petroleum jelly. It does not harden over time. I dont put it directly on the metal surfaces of the conductors, though, because this grease is an insulator (thus, the name).

Pay attention to the item around the sealed plastic. Its crooked and looks like someone resealed it then resold to me. Update: Decided to get the bigger sized version (2nd pic) and I get another opened item. Unbelievable! Pls stop reselling items as new thats been opened.

When used correctly, this product will prevent water and other debris from reaching the terminal end of your spark plug. The product should be applied around the insulator portion of the plug and not reach deep inside the boot where the terminal end is. A dielectric is an electrical insulator, it does not promote an electrical connection but actually serves to prevent one. The purpose of the grease is to not allow water and other materials from seeping up toward the terminal end. I apply the grease around the insulator of the plug, then hand tighten the plug into the head. Tighten with a wrench as per your torque requirements (or just a little past snugged up) and press the boot onto the plug. The grease should form a barrier around the plug insulator, preventing stuff from working its was up the plug and from ultimately fouling the terminal end.

I bought this for my light bulbs. Most of there new LED bulbs from Asia are advertised as E26/E27. In the US the standard socket takes E26 bulbs. The E27 is one millimeter wider. It is not too big to fit but sometimes the bulbs will be quite tight. It makes it hard to remove. I put a little bit of this Dielectric Grease on the threads and the bulbs screw in and out with no problem. Perfect.
