The thread prep is similar to Loctite?
I usually put the nipples in a little oil in a jar lid and fish them out as I build. That’s a bit messy but it does get oil inside and outside of the spoke nipple. Alternatively, I have also dripped oil on the nipple prior to tensioning. Make sure you wipe off the excess that gets on the rim.
