I would second the try blowing and vacuum a small pull string then pull
through some mule tape. The problem with the rod is it tends to kink
after a long distance and can get tangled in the current cable. A pull
string attached to a plastic bag tends to ride on top. Also give the
existing cable a little tug from each end make sure it isn't slacked up
in the middle from being pushed with the rod.

Polywater was the best we ever found. I also would try that and
blowing or vacuuming instead of a rod.

You should be able to source pulling lube from an electrical
supplier. 20+ bucks a gallon gets expensive fast with the ideal
lube,if a small job it may be all you need, but this seems not the
case.

I have about 350' of 2" conduit that already has a .75" diameter
cable installed, to which I need to add a flat drop cable. I've
been trying to get a fiberglass pull rod to go through, but am
getting hung up around 230' going from either end, probably due to
friction with the other cable. I'm considering using something
like Ideal cable lube to get the extra distance, does this stuff
thicken up and turn to glue after a while? Anything else I should
be trying?
