Stylast compatibility ZYX cartridges


I understand liquid lubricants and cleaners are not recommended for ZYX cartridges because their hollow cantilever will wick fluid up by capillary action. Is this correct? I have noted a clear benefit in reduction of surface noise from Stylast with my other cartridges.

Is there an acceptable way to enjoy the lubricant benefit of Stylast with ZYX?

Is there a different product I could use with this cartridge to achieve the same benefits?

Finally, is Stylast incompatible with other brands of phono cartridges?

Thanks.

I have a Lyra helikon. I use Record Research #9. When I apply it, and get a little careless...you can see it moving up the cantilever. Darkens it slightly as it moves. Fortunately, it seems to evaporate quickly and never really goes inside the coil area (I hope).

I'll have to respectively disagree with jes45.
