many/most types of grease are conductive. silicone grease is outragiously
expensive.  try a search for gelstar.  I bought a gallon of this stuff for
20something bucks (I can't remember the exact price) while on a quest for a
similiar product.  It is a polyofelin product that is suitable as a direct
replacement for grease in regular machinery fittings, food service, and
dielectric applications.  A kind of do-all grease that is cheap to boot.  It
is clear just like silicone grease.  Before finding this I even tried making
homemade petroleum jelly out of mineral oil and paraffin.  That  was a
smashing failure.  It does not have a stable temp. range as does this
gelstar stuff.
