Where is a good source to get silicon grease? I have looked around some,
and can never find it in any quantity. It's always been in a little TINY
paket (about 1/8 as much as cushcraft sends with their antennas), and I've
found it in the pluming section of the hardware store. Let me know where I
can find this stuff in a descent quantity becuase I've got lots of
connectors to put it on this summer/fall.
