Hi good people, just wanted to check on what folks use or don't use to ease rubber into frame?
Just ordered a pair of seals ($250

) so don't want to screw up the install.
Is washing up liquid or hand soap okay, or will that dry out the rubber over time?
Metal work (pics t/f) is thankfully in good shape, at least on the side removed, going for a dry fit or better to use compound?
I ordered a tube just in case but would prefer to do without, old seals are caked in the sticky goo.
Thanks.
