    NOT Grease.
    Marvel Mystery Oil.
    Top Cylinder Lube.

    Cotton ~~> 100% Cotton ... Clothes line.
    That just makes it easy to stuff the YICS Passage.

    You could soak a few Cotton Bandanna's in Marvel Mystery Oil and get the same effect.

    You are "Stufffing" the YICS Passage with a Natural Fiber that will not melt.

    A Cotton T-Shirt ... ripped into a narrow ribbon and made into a long section will work; too.

    Soaked in Marvel Mystery Oil
    Packed-in tight.
    Do the tuning and pull it all out of there!

    I used the hem of a t-shirt soaked with WD40.

    Make sure your shirt (or whatever) is 100% cotton. Any synthetics are apt to make a gooey mess.

    By the looks of it, any light oil will work.
