There is often someone on eBay selling GLY2100 in small bottles, but 
today the only listing I see is from someone in Australia, and the 
shipping is quite expensive.

I have found that Tri-Flo dries out after a few months.  I like 
something that stays liquid as it ages, like Krytox GPL105, which is a 
very slippery low viscosity synthetic oil.  (Works well on scrape 
flutter idler bearings, among other things.)  Zoro.com has a 1 ounce 
bottle for $25.91.  If you want a similar grease, try Krytox GPL205.
