Anyone know?

I been using Vaseline on the threads on my garden hose.

Here's one place from goggle not to use Vaseline:
Do not use petroleum jelly with condoms—it can break down the condom so it gets holes in it.

Cheers!
Use sheepskin! Add all the Vaseline you need! Cheers! By the way WHERE DO YOU COME UP WITH SOME OF THIS HORSE đź’©?
