With a melting point close to 100 degrees Fahrenheit Vaseline would not be
a good choice for those of us in the southern states.

If you want to try an experiment sometime, cover your connections with
Vasoline.
I have used that on connections and they stay shiny for a long time. When
making changes, jus wipe it off.
Learned this trick from a telephone repairman. 73
