Anyways the lubricant is not what you want unless you want the rubber stem to come out of the hole as quickly as it went in. We use a dab of super glue on the side of the hole and even a little accelerant on the button before it goes in the hole. Not too much. (Squeeze out is bad) It's also good to write the correct drill size for each size button on the container so you don't have to figure it out each time you need to use one.
