Sticky Gaskets

[Clay]

I am having problems with the gaskets on the outer storage compartment doors sticking. Sometimes I think I will pull the handle off trying to unstick the door! What can I use to lubricate them. I am also having a problem with the gasket on the toilet. It sticks while in storage. Someone suggested I try a lubricant made by Thetford. She puts it in her fresh water tank to keep everything lubricated. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Clay

You should be able to use most any silicone
dressing.
If you have a slide out use the same one you would use to keep those seals from sticking.

Milt,

On the slideout - do you mean the rubber flaps around the edges of slideout?

Clay,
Yes there is a spray silicone to keep the sels around a slideout from sticking,it will work on the doors also.
I used it on the seal for the trunk on wifes car
and it last quite while.
Probably any auto rubber lube would work also.
Maybe not on the toilet seal, unless you could get it completely dry before treating.

Clay:

I had that same problem with the seals on the house doors...I used some Plumber's Silicone Grease (just a very light coating), and no more problems- you can get it at any hardware store.
