Howdy folks!

My SUEX came with a tube of Viky 51T white vaseline for o-ring lubrication. I like 51T's consistency - it is less watery than typical dive store silicone grease and not as sticky as Molykote 111. Does anyone else use Viky 51T for o-ring lubrication in dive equipment? If so, what are the experiences? I am set on using Molykote 111 - great lube! - but always want to learn more.

Thank you!
 
You're on a good thing there I just did half the rubber and plastic on a car today
and used it on pool stuff for years and for all rubber and dive gear rejuventation

I was getting low Petroleum Jelly | White soft paraffin | BP Pharma Grade | DIY skincare | 1Kg | eBay

Thing is it's a really sticky thick goop that everything even stuff that has not even
been invented yet sticks to, and you can't wipe it thin and it sticks stuff not slides

Yeah when your rubber gets dry and crusty a solid clean with metho and a slather

and this soft rubber was a bit dry and crusty

I certainly wouldn't use it on the body orings of my scooters
