Does anyone know of a lube that can be used on all O-Rings? Seems a bit fussy to have to buy 2-3 different kinds of lube for different components, Ikelite, S&S etc

some lubes WILL melt some orings. so using just any old lube may be a very bad idea if you have the wrong mix of lube and oring material.If you never have to worry about high pressure oxygen, then just use any silicone lube. I have never found anything special about the stuff sold by the camera, housing or strobe companies. It's all just a lubricant, Just don't use it for HP oxygen applications. Tribolube and other O2 lubes would work in all situations, but is orders of magnitude more expensive.
