Per :
Silicone Grease has been the standard
solution for this problem with divers and photographers for almost 30
years (possibly even longer) - because it works and does not cause
other problems. It is very easy to purchase, use, and remove.

I'm going to Home Depot today.

Hit the local hardware store, and could not find anything explicitly
"Grease". A lot of "Silicone Compound" stuff - and I even have a tube
of that already..... but I'm guessing there is some significant diff
with "Compound" vs "Grease". In fact, the stuff I have looks more like
lubricating gel that grease.
