I've tried most of of the popular cutting fluids. For me, nothing works as good as a sharpie. The oil in the ink is enough lubricant, and you only need to cut enough to take off the ink. Anything more is too much copper. I've prob spent $50 on just trying to get that perfect cut, then to realize that the plain old Sharpie was the ticket.
