Godzilla Grease

Does anyone know the identity of the thick grease we all love to hate that is used on inexpensive gears and shafts to hide poor machining tolerances?

I have a 'special' need for the stuff.

Thanks!!

Does this "Special Need" involve an upcoming sale ad on the Astromart Classifieds?

(And no, I don't know the name of the grease.)

Is that cosmoline? If so, the stuff isn't really a lubricant at all, but a heavy duty rust inhibitor.

If that's what it is I don't know where you can buy it, but military surplus firearms are often packed in gobs of it. You might try military supply stores.
