Lubing Up Yer Conduit Wires Before the BIG Pull.

What do you use as a lubricant?


Washing up liquid?


Tallow?


Cutting fluid?


WD40?


Soap?


Chicken soup?

    I bought 20 drums each 25 litres of BT approved cable duct pulling lubricant 15? years ago for £60 as it was out of date. Quite how I've no idea so I tend to be over generous in its use. I think I've still got 6 drums left. I bought them from a guy up in Yorkshire as part of a moling package and put them in the back of my van that only has a perforate bulkhead. Driving home on the motorway I was very concerned about having an accident resulting in 500 litres of the stuff escaping.... The fire brigade would never have been able to hold onto me to pull me from the wreckage!


    Prior to that I bought some blue coloured stuff in 25 litre drums but being a person who doesn't wear gloves, I ended up with a blue tinge to my cuticles looking as if I had some vitamin deficiency or similar....


    Regards
