Plumbing grease for cork lubrication?

Author: m1964

I know it is a stupid post, but I just had to ask...

I have been using La Tromba synthetic cork grease, but recently got a small container of UlitMax synthetic cork lubricant (added it to my purchase to get free shipping).

When I opened the container, I got a feeling that I already had the same or similar stuff in home. I pulled out a container of Oatey plumbing synthetic grease and found it to be very similar in how it felt except for being less thick.

Oatey claims it is "90% pure silicone". This is the Oatey grease: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Oatey-Silicone-Grease/50236505

Did anyone tried to use non-specific silicone grease, similar to Oatey, on tenon corks?
By "non-specific", I mean not advertised for use as cork greases.

I am just curious, because between one container of La Tromba, and another one of the UltiMax grease, I am not going to need any more cork grease any time soon.

Thanks
