Anyone have a recommendation on how to apply grease (other than applications that require a grease gun with a Zerk fitting). Every time I take out the axles I do apply some high-pressure/high-temp synth grease, but I do it by putting on a latex glove, getting a goop of it, getting a thin layer all over the axle, and replacing it. Sometimes I take off the latex glove before replacing it, but if I do that even touching the axle gets grease all over my hands. But if I don't remove the gloves, then I'm getting grease on everything else I'm touching while reassembling the axle.

There's got to be a recommended process out there; what works for you folks?
