I agree with Art, its very easy if you spin the shaft slower and let it settle/spread.
We had issues with that as well, we have started using a dry grease which we really like.

We've really liked the above grease, you spray it on, let it dry. Do a coat or two and its good to go. It doesn't fly off and it doesn't get your frame/robot dirty.
