Lubricating/softening rubber? - Scott Forman - 03-03-2007 05:37 In this month's FMCA magazine, a guy wrote in and said he was able to make his Thetford toilet hold water again by applying a rubber conditioner of some kind to the gasket, which had become hard. I am having the same problem, and want to try his idea. Can anyone recommend a good rubber conditioner?

Put some silicone grease on it and have not had a proplem sense --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Scott Forman" <sforman@...> wrote: > > In this month's FMCA magazine, a guy wrote in and said he was able to > make his Thetford toilet hold water again by applying a rubber > conditioner of some kind to the gasket, which had become hard.
