I'm totally speaking out of my rear end here, but it could be that the oil separates from the grease at a quicker rate than 3204 so maybe that's why it clots quicker when sitting in the vial. I think a good stir should be all it needs and it's good to go. I wouldn't worry about clotting or anything of the like once you lube a switch since a single switch needs only a thin layer of lube.
