Been there, done that. I still remember first time I used Copaslip on the exhaust manifold bolts in my Camaro, I didn't know how much (or actually how little) I should use and ended up with a mess beyond belief in my neatly detailed engine bay. Same thing when you use graphite grease, you wipe the sweat off your face a couple of times and you end up looking like Gene Simmons. They say that a little goes a long way, and it obviously means that it migrates a long way from the place you used it.
