Be careful with the "rejuvenator". It can oversoften some rubber
products. I had one paper transport roller turn to putty. Also, the
carriers (liquid propellants) in a can of Silicone spray are wonderful
solvents. Next time you have some goo like tape adhesive that you need
to remove, spray silicone spray on it and rub with a towel. Conversly, I
would be careful that your door seals don't get unstuck by the spray.
The non-spray pure silicone can be bought at hobby stores in 30 through
80 weights. It is used as shock oil in model cars.
