This would include vaseline.

Vaseline on rubber door seals.

I tried a spray of wd40 wiped round on a cloth but doesn t seem to have helped. While vaseline and other petroleum products may degrade real rubber actually made from the rubber tree current o rings technology does not use natural rubber. This will help prevent doors from freezing shut and help prolong the life of expensive door seals. For preventative measures some manufacturers recommend applying silicone spray around the rubber door and trunk seals to prevent this problem.

A polymer is the result of a chemical linking of molecules into a long chain like structure. The vaseline won t repair damage such as cracks or tears. The parker o ring handbook states. Seriously i doubted this would work.

Seal it up vaseline or petroleum jelly can soften a dried gasket so that it will form a good seal around the door of your refrigerator. Apply a thin layer to the rubber gaskets around your car doors. Simply rub the vaseline over the rubber gasket where it seals to the fridge or freezer. And then close the door and be amazed.
