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. > > Anyway, at the hardware store, my current favourite is Tri-Flo.

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. -- John Chester
