Don't use too much lube on the nipples. Too much lube can get into the rim and make a mess on the protective tape that is installed to protect the tube. Just put some lube in a small container, dip a small stick (toothpick) into the lube and 'dot' a small amount at the spoke/nipple joint & also where the nipple enters the rim.

When trueing the wheel, if nipples seems stuck, you can add a little more lube where needed.
