There was a white lubricant we used on o-rings. It was not petroleum based to avoid dissolving the o-ring.
What was it? Is it commercially available?

Re: Nuc MM Question
Our slang term was "boy butter" but it was actually silicone grease which can be found in plumbing stores. I also used it to lubricate the car door gaskets in the winter to keep them from sticking especially after a freezing rain but now use the spray silicone grease from the auto parts store. The spray is also good to keep your snow blower from plugging up.

Re: Nuc MM Question
Thanks, Chip.
I knew the slang term but didn't feel up to walking into the local shop and asking for it that way!
