Lube for orings

What are you guys using for lube on your orings. I have been using Cork greese from the music store. Is Bees wax better any thoughts   Thanks for your help

Buy nice rings, and you won't need lube.  Neoprene rings rather than Buna-O.  Your customers will appreciate it.

A simple method is to just lightly touch them with "ChapStick".  Works like a charm!

Sheesh -  Chapstick?    Actually, I've heard of that before from guys and they say it works well.   But I always have some spit with me  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I wonder - think that's the reason I don't do well at shows?   No one ever wants to test my calls   :huh:   The word must get around pretty fast  :rofl: :rofl:

I keep a candle on my work bench. Just rub the o-rings on the wax and they slide right in.
