Is it okay to use Vaseline on a light bulb to make it easier to put in and get out?
Dielectric grease would be a better choice.
What is Dielectric grease used for?
It's supposed to be non-conductive yet it transfers heat. Dielectric grease is often used with a heat-sink to transfer the heat better and it can also be used in applications where electrical components might get damp and/or hot and corrode. Most auto manufacturers are using dielectric grease or other grease compounds to protect light sockets and other electrical connections.
How does silcone grease work?
Silicone grease is a waterproof grease made by combining a silicone oil with a thickener. Most commonly, the silicone oil is polydimethylsiloxane and the thickener is amorphous fumed silica.

Why is special fire fighting equipment needed for electrical and non electrical fires?
Water conducts electricity and is therefore contraindicated for use on energized electrical equipment, however it is much cheaper than the chemicals that can be used on energized equipment making it more economical when water is able to be used. Similarly water should not be used on grease fires as it will spread out the grease and the fire rather than smothering it. Water if pure without contaminants does not conduct . Having stated that electrical fire can hardly be contained by water since the air itself will conduct electrons by ionization. So to contain an electrical fire a the oxygen must be removed and water will not do that.

Is die electric grease needed at distributor contacts?
No, dielectric grease is to provide insulation from corrosion on electrical contact points.It is normally used in lamp sockets and electrical plug in connectors that are subject to some exposure to the elements.The intent of distributor contact points is to intermittently conduct electricity. The points in a normally maintained system under go little wear and the distributor being a closed environment has little corrosion.
Can you use vaseline on dreads?
Yes you can use vaseline on dreads. I would not recommend starting dreads off with vaseline, but if you want to use it to grease your scalp I will use just a little. If you use too much grease like vaseline, depending on the length and thickness of your dreads, when it's time for a shampoo you will have to use steaming hot water or as hot as you can stand it with shampoo to remove all the grease. If you are starting dreads off I recommend using beeswax, or beeswax gel,or find a brand that you are comfortable with.
How do you use cork grease?
Cork grease is a substance that "greases" the corks on any woodwind instrument. This makes it much easier to put together. If corks do not get greased enough, they will tear and fall off. If cork grease is not available Vaseline can be used but must be wiped off before storing your instrument. Vaseline penetrates cork, occasionally loosening the glue. Therefore adding small amounts of hard waxes such as carnuba , beeswax etc., over very gentle heat, can make wonderful cork grease with custom tailored consistency.
