Actualy, be careful of silicon spray as it can conduct a little electric.

I have seen more than one case where it caused the HT to track and destroyed LCD displays on radios etc

I'll remember that one.
I'll use it on black plastic such as the bagpipes etc and some other hoses. I have to be sparing with its use now as I only have a limited stock from a life before Heinz  ::)
