Threading conduit with WD40 instead of Tallow

Discuss Threading conduit with WD40 instead of Tallow in the Electrical Tools and Products area at ElectriciansForums.net

last time i did a lot of conduit work was in a hospital. used lard from the kitchen. was usefull in lubing the cables in as well.
 
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
