Dick:
I bought lubricant for pulling at Lowe's in the electrical dept.

We called it "slime"

The pull I did thru 2 inch PVC was about 75' and had two 90 degree
re-directs, one at each en d.

I taped at each end but nowhere else, to give me "wiggle room" later on
(i.e. pull back etc).

I used rope and taped to the taped bundle at the pull end.

With each pull I made sure there was a rope for next time, esp why I didn't
tape the bundle.

Hope this helps.
