I use silicone spray lube on a shop towel to recondition the seals every 6 months to a year or so. Seems to work nicely. The problem w/most ArmorAll and related products is they don't really do much more than lock you into... using ArmorAll. I saw some article or study once, that indicated that ArmorAll seemed to actually dry out the surfaces it was applied to. Can't remember where I read that now. Of course, you could shell out the relatively larger bucks and find someone who sells Zymol. That's supposed to be THE stuff for rubber. -Simon On Jul 14, 2004, at 5:40 AM, Tom DeMarcus wrote: > The seals are otherwise in very good condition.
