I went to a lot of effort to get the Plastilube. After all was said and done, I'm not sure it was worth it, many say just lube with brake fluid. My pistons don't retract very well, so I wondering if the Plastilube it too stiff or not allowing the seal to grip the pistons to pull them back.

I used Plastilube during my brake rebuild three years ago and have had no issues with my brakes.
