A little tip for you guys that I learned in the machining industry as a manager of a machine shop... we had to keep records of MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) in case any employee needed those records for safety concerns. If you buy a product such as oils or grease you should be able to get...

And by the way... in doing a little digging, Green Slime (Polymer 400) is not meant to be used with rubber or plastic either. Go figure 😜 I'm willing to bet if the same bit of research was done on silicone shock oils, you guys would be shocked to see how much it's marked up after being stuck in...
