I don't really understand what you mean Raiden. I'm going to continue answering Raiden's questions to me anyways.

Hard to say. I shoot in enough to make the grease jet black. I don't really sweat it as the powder smooshes in a reasonably durable coating pretty fast. I really use the grease to make the powder more manageable. As a loose powder, graphite is hard to control. It wanders around and falls off of surfaces you want to condition. Adding in some grease helps it to adhere to where you want it before you cycle them to burnish into the surfaces.

I do like to apply graphite paste to trigger parts too. I do wipe it all off after a heap of conditioning cycles still. Heavy grease coatings accumulate wear particles, sand, and make an abrasive paste that accelerates wear.
