I am having a new roof put on my house real soon, in the mean time I thought that this would be an opportune time to replace the 60 year old rubber flashing around the galvanized pipe that feeds my electric entrance, I have to do this correctly the first time because the electric company will have to disconnect the wires for me to do it. My question is this, do I just slide the new "Oatey" boot down over the dry galvanized pipe or should I lube the pipe in attempts to reduce the friction on this old pipe. I want this new install to seal around the pipe as good as possible.
The new flashing says "Do Not Use With Petroleum Based Compounds" so I guess that eliminates vasoline, like I was thinking.
Any and all advice would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
