Are you referring to the Sil-Glyde, or dielectric grease? AGS has a
dielectric grease, that is not Sil-glyde. The AGS's description of
Syl-Glyde made me think it's actually not silicone.

Hi
My understanding is that it is silicone grease. It seem to
be the same as the silicone grease that NAPA stores sell under
their brand name. Many dielectric greases are not silicon based
but may work as well to improve contacts of connectors. I've
gotten good results from Syl-Glyde, even on connectors that
have been weakened by over heating ( common in pinball machines ).
I still prefer to use DC#4 but I often can't find the tube and
use what is in the tool box.

I'd recommend Sil-Glide--a silicone gel. Safe for use with just about
anything, including rubber and nylon. Get it at an auto parts store.
Cheers,

Hi
Also good for improving electrical contacts on connectors. It still
isn't all that good as a lubricant but better than dry.
