After installing a few hundred feet of that stuff over the past 50-something years, I'm about to share a little trick that makes it go a LOT smoother. A trick an old body man taught me back in the early 1970's is so intuitive I'm amazed it's not in general use. A water soluble "personal lubricant" (K-Y Jelly, etc.) makes that lock strip slide in slicker than owl snot- - - -and it won't damage paint like Vaseline or brake fluid can!
