One of our contracts managers years back decided to use wd 40 as a lubricant when drawing cables into conduit and it melted all the insulation.
was at a wholesalers a while ago (edo's) they had not even heard of trefolex and gave us this black tar **** that they called cutting compound
was terrible, was really thick so a pain to get it to stick then as soon as you started threading it got runny and runs off.
usually use the stuff the plumbers/pipe fitters use that comes in a can
