And I just got an email from Rick. I had not purchased it from Rick, but
his assistant. Rick said that the red grease is not for the leather seal.
He suggested a moly type grease and that some people use vaseline.
I know my wife uses Aquafor for her hands instead of vaseline.

I wonder if that would be even better. I suspect though that it might not
last with any hint of brake fluid.
