What do you use Vaseline for?

posted 1 year ago

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.

Heat vaseline in a small container or on a spoon
Suck up into syringe
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.

Creating silicone dice molds for resin casting. The vaseline acts as a mold release
