Hello everyone. I just recieved my new scuba equpment from leisurepro. It consists of a scubapro mk25/g250 reg setup, a r190 scubapro octo. and a scubapro mini vip3 gauge. I am a new diver and was wondering about putting the equipment together. I am clear on the HP and LP fittings and where all the equipment threads into these ports but was wondering about the orings. They appeared to be a little dry so I lubed them up with silicone oring lube (Trident brand). I did not goop it all over the rings, I simply gave them a thin coating. Was this correct? Also I used a crescent wrench to tighten the fittings to the 1st stage(just a little bit past hand tight). It seems as if this is pretty much straight forward and I feel comfortable to rent a tank and do a pool dive w/ buddy. Am I in the wrong or doing something stupid? BTW I did not remove the rings from the fittings before I lubed them......Thanks for any input
