What do you use Vaseline for?

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.

pictures, please

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