A chamfer and some lube is your friend... there should be no need
to pull apart the seal.

Fairy liquid works he-)

also good as a plasticiser in mortar .....

if your name is Bodgit&Scarper
no absolutely OK trust me on that ....

Agreed.

The plumbers don't like you using washing up liquid for leak detection
either.

Not likely to affect rubber/plastics in soil pipes.
