I always use to grease my caliper pins with standard lithium grease, but I remember Eric saying this is bad for the rubber bushings. I really don’t know what silicon paste is made of, but I know that di-electric grease is made to be used on rubber and smells like silicon.
So any harm in useing that for my calipers or other rubber parts?

[quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=14595]There is also a link on the ‘Tools’ page for silicone paste if you have trouble finding it.[/quote]
I am new here. I have been trying to find the “Tool” page to search for silicone paste but I have not been able to find that section… Some help needed, please.
Thank you very much.
The tool page was part. Of the old website as far as I am aware the page no longer around the silicone paste the Eric uses is this http://www.amazon.com/3M-Silcone-Paste/dp/B0015PI34O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348601383&sr=8-1&keywords=3m+silicone+paste
I bought my can of 3m paste on ebay from a seller in indiana…..fast shipping.
28 bucks with shipping.[quote=”Bad_dude” post=14608]
I use the sil-glyde I buy from Napa. It’s recommended for brakes and slide pins.[/quote]I use Sil-Glyde from NANA too, for brake parts. I’ve wondered though, can Sil-Glyde be used as a dielectric grease on electrical connections, etc.?
I use it for all electrical connections,brake slides,window channels,weather stripping,door locks,hood latch….and so on.Any place water is the enemy.
I have also recently purchased 3m silicone paste on amazon and have used it with my brakes but I would like to know if it is safe to use the paste on electrical connections? I thought most of the bulb grease/ connector grease with almost the same thing?

I use this anti seize compound for home and work.
This is in the description:
Anti-seize compound is a high temperature compound which prevents seizing, galling and corrosion and makes disassembly of components easier. Anti-seize compound is ideal for using on engine bolts, nuts, fittings and other engine parts.A high temperature compound which prevents seizing, galling and corrosion.
Makes disassembly of components easier.
Use on engine bolts, nuts, fittings, studs and pins.
Meets Mil -A907E specs.
Withstands temperatures from -65°F to 2000°F (-54°C to 1093°C).I run a Heat Treat shop during the day and we use this on all our pipes and nuts/studs. If not the connections would be near impossible to remove. These connections are over 1200ºF. I can attest that this product does not break down. Now on the other hand this stuff will end up on everything you own when being used. I even found some on the wife’s ass the next morning and have no memory on how it got there! Ha
