A note on this stuff. Its very good for this application because it's
designed to be smeared on electrical and data cable when pulling it
in conduit or in rough in holes through walls. The materials don't
break down plastics or rubber and after drying isn't prone to causing
corrosion (an otherwise serious problem with wiring.
