Re: (ET) Tractor size

I have a couple applications where a conductive lubrication is needed and I
got some cailube from caig labs. I think it's focus is more keeping things
clean and conductive, rather then a super lube. I didn't have a problem
before I started using it so I don't have any testimonial yet.

The also have a grease version which is rated to -40C that I haven't tried.

they have a special on samples of their products that includes small
amounts of both as well as their other products
