Got actual MB grease.

My understanding is that, after cleaning the rails, the trick is to use as little of that grease as possible. So I applied what I thought was a VERY thin coating. Seemed to operate smoothly...squeaks were gone. But then I noticed it seemed to be "catching" at a couple of points. So I wiped the rails with a paper towel, assuming that an even thinner layer would remain.

Does that sound about right? Can anyone help me quantify how much grease to use?

Thanks.
