I have just taken the LP and HP hoses off my first stage to do a bit of re-arranging, and haev noticed that all the o-rings are terribly fatigued and in need of a change.
My question is this.. should I be using silicone grease on the new o-rings before I use them, and if so how much?
I always grease up the o-rings on my camera housing and torch with silicone grease, by applying a small amount to my forefinger. I then gently run the o-ring between my finger and thumb until the o-ring is coated thinly and with no lumps of grease.
How do I achieve a similar result with the tiny o-rings on a reg hose?
BTW I only dive air, no other gas mixes.
