Oh wow, you all of a sudden convinced me you're the person to listen to. You're the new expert here.

2) DC55 reduces tensile strength of viton by nearly 50%.
3) DuPont Krytox GPL-207 is inert and birthed the mil spec.
4) This information wasn't provided in this forum until I brought it up. This is then "new" information as of nearly 3yrs ago now.
5) The sharp edge of the thread on the bolt is present in the joint, even with chamfering of the case.
6) Henry, and this thread, recommend DC55 without mentioning the requirement of machining the case. (Opinion alert: I believe this fact is a problem).
7) Krytox GPL-207 which I suggest as alternative and doesn't reduce the strength of the o-ring.

If you don't find use in facts it doesn't mean others won't. Some people still voted for Clinton after all.
