Silicon grease Q?

[xcaret]

What kind of silicon grease is recomended to lube the O rings and gaskets in a SW tank?
I need to lube some unions to preserve the life of the little O rings inside and for bulkheads too.

Thx

I heard not to use silicon grease (or anything for that matter other than some teflon) on bulkheads, but can't say for sure and/or point you to any threads about it. That said, I've used a fair amt of bulkheads for up to 3 or 4 years and had no problem removing/reusing the ones with threads.

Thanks for the answer; I saw on glassholes web they use silicon grease to lube the gaskets so I was concerned if I had to do the same when I drill a tank I have at home.

Again, thanks !
