Very informative - thank you! I undestand that mineral oils (and

Rots _natural_ rubber. Almost every modern synthetic rubber is OK. If
you want a deliberate grease for rubber though, use either silicone or
a water-based. Silicone if you want it to last more than 5 minutes.

What about silicone grease? Is that safe to use on
rubber?


It's the usual polish for rubberwear.
