DH says that before he ever puts the cartridge in the grease gun he smacks 
it on the workbench a few times and then periodically while using it.  He 
said he noticed more problems with the cartridges that he buys that were 
laying on their sides in the store and not as much trouble with the ones 
that are stored sitting up.
