What is the proper way to apply Guitar Grease, Carmex or any of the other nut slot lubricants? If find if I cram it into the slot, the majority gets pulled out as the string is wrapped around the tuning peg.

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I would appreciate any help you can provide...

I just use a #2 pencil to lube the slots when needed. I don't like any goo on my guitar. I just lay the pencil in the nut slot and rotate it a time of two causing the graphite to fall into the slot.
