Lubing my toilet seal
Is there a specific lube to use on a toilet seal, or will basic "spa lube", used for lubing pool filter gaskets and o-rings, work? Lyle

Well, I've tried just about everything imaginable on mine, and it still like to stick.
I've tried white lithium grease, Vaseline, WD-40, and even liquid cooking oil.
I have found that simply emptying the bowl and letting it dry, then pouring a couple table spoons of cooking oil over the seals and pushing the peddle a couple times does better, last longer, and is cheap.
I keep thinking I need to replace the seal, but the cooking oil just worked fine, until it rubs off. A couple more tablespoons and back in business for a while again.
Maybe someday, I'll replace the seal.
Thought about the cooking oil, but figured the spa lube (silicon based) would last longer, if it was OK to use. :B

Lyle,
Any silicone based lube will work. I used plumber's grease because it seems to stick to the seal better and last longer. YMMV
