Substitute for Dielectric?

Has anyone ever used vasaline for a dielectric? Or is there a specific product that comes in a larger amount than the "condiment" size at Autozone?
Thanks a million

NAPA sells a 1 oz tube for about $6.50

Don't use vaseline, it is not temperature stable.

Advance Auto has 3oz tubes of Permatex (I think they call it Dielectric Tune Up Grease).

Agree with the above. You can get larger containers of diaelectric grease at just about any parts stores. I have an 8oz. container, with 3/4s left after going through the entire wiring harnesses on two mortorcycles and the engine bay of my F150.

I used to use vasaline 20 yrs ago before hearing of dielectric. Projectsho is right, it melts off pretty easily.
