Sprinkling fine sand over the top (or mixing it with the paint) will kill any tendency towards slipperiness. Of course it does a lot more damage if you fall on the stuff, too. Randall

Any lightweight lubricating oil should do fine, it's not all that cold in there. 3-in-1, for example. I've heard of Rislone being used for this kind of application too, but never tried it myself. Ha

It does for me. Takes years, but it does eventually harden to a rock-like consistency. The Teflon pipe dope seems to stay soft at least longer, although I've only been using it for 10 years or so. R

There are two factors to consider when selecting wire size, both the current the wire can carry without overheating, and how much voltage drop the device will see due to resistance of the wire. 10 A
