I just have a few quick questions about using a food grade lubricant for the O-rings used for the different hoses connected to the first stage.
Can you use a heavy duty food grade lubricant? Is this acceptable if I may use the gear for Nitrox later?
Sure, I can buy Christolube....but I have on hand a food grade lubricant that I use on the O-rings for my beer kegs (my other hobby).
I've read several threads related to this subject but I never saw this specifically answered. I know Christolube and Krytox are the lubricants of choice. I know not to overtighten the brass fittings. I know not to use too, much lube...just enough to make it shiney. I've read about just taking it to the LDS. So, please save those comments.
Thanks.
