I finally tested a new wire pulling lube on a big conduit run
Had a 150 foot run of 3 inch PVC in a new office building. Used this green gel stuff instead of my usual. It went on easy, but halfway through the pull, the wire just stopped. Felt like it glued itself to the side. Had to cut the wire and start over. Turns out the gel dries out way too fast in cold weather. Anyone know a good lube that works below 40 degrees?

Glued itself to the side" sounds a bit dramatic lol

Oh man, my buddy had a phone do that for real once. It slid right into the tiny gap between his car seat and the center console, @rose_jenkins64. We had to use a coat hanger and a lot of patience to fish it back out. It was absolutely stuck.

Nah, that gap's a total phone eater.
