Does anyone know where to obtain this? I need to grease the O-ring, but no one I can find carries this.....what do you all use?

According to the note on the Pilkington website, and a dive shop owner, Dow Corning silicone grease #111 is what is used in the presence of high pressure compressed air.

Thanks. Is this what most people are using, or has anyone found something comparable that is more readily available?

I just went to my local dive shop and they gave me a small tub of it when they filled my air tank.

I use Dow-Corning 111. Available at finer industrial suppliers everywhere, or get a tube delivered to your door <a href="http://www.mscdirect.com/IWCatProductPa ... Y">here</a> for $12 or so.

Careful with 111 grease as it causes the O-ring to swell.If you ever remove the O-ring you will NOT get it back in so buy a new one before removal to save downtime.
