Hey guys I am a Telephone cable splicer , Ok I know that sounds lame.....but if you think about for a minute it becomes really clear. Cable is placed in the ground..it is wet in the ground therefor we must protect our cable from the water....(now comes the good part) So lets inject our cable with stuff to keep it from getting wet. We will call it...uh ....ICKY PIC. This is the slimest most annoying foul crap out there. and DUH HUH its water repelent, slimey sticky and you guessed it water won't clean it up....it clods up like (mikes favorite) BOOGER BALLS ...it gets in your tools making them impossible to hold...Working in the Florida sun with a layer of the stuff on your skin is like deep frying southern chicken...and god forbid you use your wifes washing machine to try to get it out of your clothes.....I have already baught her 2 new ones....
