I have a tub of Vaseline and have hardly scratched the surface. I'm curious whether anyone uses it for anything other than their lips.

  1. Heat vaseline in a small container or on a spoon
  2. Suck up into syringe
  3. Inject liberally into ~~veins~~ switches, connectors, and other electronic moving parts that I'd like to be waterproof. (0. Cover PCB in nail polish or specially-made products)

If those parts happen to be plastic, don't do this. It will slowly dissolve some types of plastic.

I used to use it with my hobo chiller of doom when extreme overclocking. I only use it to insulate the socket now, the board is covered in liquid electrical tape.

The hobo chiller of doom got upgraded to a water block glued to a peltier, and it's still hobo as crap.

Sadly the hobo chiller of doom and the rest of my oc gear are in storage, otherwise I would.
