Jim-- 
I wish you would NOT do this. Vaseline is a Petroleum based product and has 
nothing to do with Lanolin, which a a natural animal based Wax. The 
unnecessary broadcast of errors like this make me wonder if anything you say 
is fact-based.

Vaseline will work keeps moisture out, non conductive.  You can cover a lot
of surface. Over years it drys out gets crusty. Vaseline is made of lanolin
mostly, I believe.

Neverseizes or anitseize compound found in any hardware store, Works very
well drys out some but keeps working for years. buried cables with claps
and wrapped with electrical tap connects look like new when taken apart.
Underground cable going to house for Time Warner cable has it in
inpregnanted in the shielding jacket.
