[GO DAWG GO]

I agree with Sammy...Thats why engineers tend to be more conservative. Facts, empirical data and no SWAGs...

But, Just as an observation...and WAG...I would say it looks very much like a staking compound we use in aerospace called "Glyptol" Its a viscus "Loctite" type thread and bearing staking compound. It can also be used as a liquid displacement seal...Meaning; Applied to displace water pooling and saturation in the bearing faying surfaces. As long as the axis rotation and bearing geometry are static and no need for periodic cleaning and maintenance, it can me used as opposed to a viscous grease where bearings are rotational and replaceable.

My .02 cents
