Those are the RTVs and have a relatively short shelf life.
The dielectric greases and vacuum greases should not get hard in the tube or
any place else for that matter.
I've had flooded connectors up for 10 to 15 years that still had "grease" in
them when I took the antennas down. OTOH I don't think I have any flooded
fittings up at present, but I've gone to using flooded heat shrink over the
connectors.
