[TowerTalk] How to apply lube to HDX589 cables

I've started lubricating the cables on my HDX589 with PreLube 6. For the 
main spool cable, I applied the lube when lowering the tower by spraying 
into a slotted plastic funnel on the cable.  That technique worked very 
well.   But now looking at the higher section cables between the 
sections, I'm wondering if there is a neat technique for application of 
the lube to them?   Get to the top with the tower down, spray, and hope 
the lube runs all the way down the cable??

(not a revisit of lube/not lube cables debate please).   btw Prelube 6 
smells a lot like LPS2 or LPS3 so I might guess some of the ingredients 
are the same.
