RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] need goo
Quoted from Wikipedia...
Lanolin is used commercially in many industrial products ranging from
rust-proof coatings to lubricants. Some sailors use lanolin to create a
slippery surface on their propellers and stern gear to which barnacles
cannot adhere. The water-repellent properties make it valuable as a
lubricant grease where corrosion would otherwise be a problem.
Lanolin (German, from Latin lāna, "wool", and oleum, "oil") also called
Adeps Lanae, wool wax or wool grease, is a yellow waxy substance secreted by
the sebaceous glands of wool-bearing animals. Most lanolin used by humans
comes from domestic sheep. Lanolin is also frequently, but incorrectly,
referred to as ‘Wool Fat’ by many of the world’s pharmacopoeia even though
it has been known for more than 150 years that lanolin is devoid of
glycerides and is in fact a wax, not a fat.[1][2] Lanolin's waterproofing
property aids sheep in shedding water from their coats. Certain breeds of
sheep produce large amounts of lanolin, and the extraction can be performed
by squeezing the sheep's harvested wool between rollers. Most or all of the
lanolin is removed from wool when it is processed into textiles, such as
yarn or felt.
Lanolin’s role in nature is to protect wool and skin against the ravages of
climate and the environment – it also seems to play a role in integumental
hygiene] It is therefore not surprising that lanolin and its many
derivatives are used extensively in products designed for the protection,
treatment and beautification of human skin.

Starting to get moving again on my sub, I've been applying epoxy and making
progress. I'm thinking about putting my two halves together, I'm going to
lay down a strip of silicone on one half 4" wide 1/4" thick and approx 40'
total linear feet. I'm thinking I should have some sort of goo, like
Vaseline, to get a good seal where the top meets the bottom silicone. I
guess I could probably just use some sort of grease but was just wondering
if there is a preferred marine "Vaseline" . Something with a reasonable
price. Is ther such a thing?
