    Low pressure seal for Compressed Air

    With the gasket material smear a light film of grease on both sides of the gasket ( just coat the fingers and rub into gasket, don't over do it ), you will notice a slight change in colour of the gasket as the grease is absorbed, this softens the material and allows for greater compression and...
