Try Dow High-Vacuum Grease instead. I keep it around for the vacuum work, but

Ah yes, "magic jumping grease", isn't it? Open the tube, the room gets
coated?

Heh. My favorite story involved a lab cheapskate who wanted to
waterproof his leather boots. He was too cheap to go out and just
buy some bear grease made for that, but instead swiped a big tube
of DC silicone grease and used that.

Apparently he developed the biggest case of foot-rot because the
silicone grease completely prevented the leather from breathing
at all.
