Lube it with chapstick!

I just lubricated a bearing with chapstick

The A size bearing in my recently acquired “cats n’ loops” Alleycat 650b started sounding grainy. So I took it out, de-shielded it, cleaned it in acetone and put the shields back on. Then I lubricated it with thick lube. Much to my dismay, it played simi-responsive. I do not enjoy playing response roulette… So I added some thicker motor oil I had laying around. Still not responsive enough. Grrrr… So I removed the bearing, took one shield off, cleaned it in acetone again and this time… wait …
