I constructed towers  for about 20 years. We never lubricated any sections, 
rather,
we let the Galvinizing serve as a natural lubricant.

Another thing to remember is (other than the mess) if you lubricate the 
sections  you
probably will have a lousy electrical bond... something you don't want  if you 
are gonna
load the tower as a vertical. (might also cause noise on RX)

Stay safe and of course, 73!
