Pro tip: Don't lube your stabilizers with dielectric grease, I just spent 3 hours cleaning it out

I watched a video where a guy said dielectric grease was fine for stabilizers and figured it would save me a few bucks on my first build. Big mistake. The stuff is way too thick, so my spacebar got mushy and slow, and it took me 3 hours with q-tips and isopropyl alcohol to get all of it out of the housing. I ordered real Krytox 205g0 after that and the difference was night and day on the same board. What do you all use for stabs, and has anyone found a decent budget lube that won't turn into a paste?
