Vaseline as well. And , like all good Loose Ass afficiondaos I’m sure you’ve got a tub handy. Vaseline keeps it workable but removes its stickiness - which is good and bad.

My experience of green stuff is to keep practicing and be prepared to throw it away and start again. Despite a multitude of YouTube videos telling you how straight forward it is - it’s not.

Oh and make tiny little little bits at a time. It’s amazing how much you end up throwing away unused.

You can get 'non stick' tools from Amazon for a few pennies. Be careful using water, spit or Vaseline because you won't be able to add GS on top of it.

I spit on your fancy modern techniques ! What's wrong with good old lard ? My favourite lubricant by far.

Water is fine once it dries.

I don't think it would help if I had a pole that was too slippery or was having problems keeping hold of a greased pig...but I admire your optimism!
