Default grease question
Few years ago somebody in this forum told me to use grease to hold on the screw caps on the motor. I have lost it and can't remember what it's called. Anyone know?
They are held on by silicone now but it's not holding well.
I thought it was high suction grease it something like that

Vacuum grease is silicone that doesn't harden.
