![]() I use the Lifegard wherever an o-ring won't squeeze out. It makes taking things apart later so much easier. I even used it on the ceramic washer on a noisy mp10wES wetside and it worked great

![]() I use stopcock grease (spare me the comments, I've heard 'em all !). That is just a pure silicone grease made by Dow Corning for use in labs. It's inert and won't hurt anything.
While you can often get away without anything, it is better to use silicone grease for a better seal without binding, pinching and with a LOT less pressure.
