You need to find a local electrical supply house, most will sell to the
public.

> Anyone know a good (commonly available/local) outfit that would sell a
larger size tube/tub of dielectric grease?  I just got my new front turn
light sockets (4), and I intend to pack them full of compound to keep the
salt air and occasional hurricane winds from driving anything onto my
contacts.   Those little squeeze packs they sell @ the counter at the FLAPS
just ain't gonna cut it.  If I must do Amazon or otherwise I will but it'd
be nice to just get some locally.   Not too many that kind of place 'round
here.  FWIW, I brought my starter to the local starter & alternator
"specialist".  After about 20 seconds, the proprietor, whom I'll call
"Jethro" says, "Nope, I don't wanna work on dat" and walked away...  The
80's vintage GM station wagon, always parked in the bay, and set up for the
drag strip should have been a sign... I get it now...  Just wondering if
anyone has bumped into it at a chain store, or otherwise.

Thanks,
