I've got a couple of tubes that are really tight. I use a rubber jar/bottle top gripper (like the ones given out as complimentary "gifts") to remove them, and they're still a bear to get out. Wiggling doesn't normally make me itch, but these tubes go in and come out tight.

I'm thinkin' of using a little dielectric grease to help ease the problem. What say ya'll?

Have you tried Deoxit? It may work.

Thank you! I never heard of that before but Google's a big help. I'm off to Sh!t Sha..er, ahh, Radio Shack tomorrow.
