Specifically, (wire) pulling soap. Slang term is 'boy butter."

The guys have given you information for installing cable in conduit. Your post says cable laying as in a trench. Is it conduit or a trench?

Its not on unusual on sites to see red cement. This is a very weak mix of sand and cement which can just about be broken out your hands. Its either painted red or has red mixed in with it. The first time I saw it my first thoughts which muppet would cement cables that would need a machine to either remove them or add to them. The mix is not much stronger than sand.
