Any one using Dampening fluid on there Schroeder?

I have the mdl 2 schroder & would like to add some dampening fluid to the string, problem is I have no idea
which fluid to try should it be a thin fluid? medium? thick? xtra thick? I noticed Turntable basics sells some
but silicone fluid for cueing mechanisms, will this type work sufficiently?
I am currently using the music maker3 with the aluminum
mounting plate, AND the cartridgeman isolator.

the following right out of my shroeder model 2 manual

"Simply dip a piece of non magnetic wire (brass, copper...)
into the silicon fluid, wait until a drop has formed
and wipe it off onto the thread (near it's upper end).
The drop will slowly travel down the thread until it finally vanishes into the small oil well where the thread enters the armwand. Reapeat until the well is almost full.
or, better until Your satisfied with the sonic results.
Common silicon fluid have no adverse affect on the thread
or the bearing in general.
excess fluid can be wiped off using a cotton swab.
The effect resulting from that procedure depends
upon the cartridge used, and USUALLY increases perceived
"blackness" between notes & solidity of images WITHOUT
sacrificing "Attack" & "Air". "

there it is folks. Maybe I'll be the guinnypig & start out with some LIGHT oil & go from there, I'll report findings later.

Hey I did a search on Doc Johnson Oil....& Myraj...You are

I DONT think I will be putting any of THAT on my beloved
wand.
