My limited experience with this product it that it works fine, but once
you start using do not stop.  Cracks seem to develop
<bold><underline>AFTER</underline></bold> you stop using the product. 
Believe it or not, Vasaline (petrol based) works quite well on vinyl and
helps to moisturize old stuff.  Also, Vasaline does not seem to have the
dry-out problems as does Armour-All and other related products.  Don't
know if it would be much help on plastic though.  


Nope, don't think K-Y Jelly would help too much as it's water based!
