Someone I know suggested that oil one used to find inside photocopiers,
called fuser oil worked for him. No idea what its made of though.

For a while until the 3-in-1 causes the seals to expand and/or perish. A
light smear silicone grease is the stuff to use.

I paused at that suggestion. Then realised that if the seals are neoprene,
that is supposedly resistant to mineral oil. And PVC is pretty resistant
too. Found this relating to one PVC sheet product:

So I ended up being perhaps more questioning over its effectiveness (will
it really get to the right places?) and the possibility of splattering oil
over whatever is underneath the guttering.
