If you are trying to get rubber parts to slide into anything and it is a real tight fit use LEMON PLEDGE furniture polish and you won't believe how good it works.

I have used Joy dishwashing soap on some large rubber tires that we had to put on some rollers at work. I don't see why it would not work for anything else.

If you want the part to STAY where you put it, try using rubbing alchol. Put it on the part, put the part in, alchol evaporates!!!

The best way I have used is silicone spray. It will not deteriate the rubber and leaves no residue.

Crisco Shortning is my favorite.

Not the liquid, the white gooey stuff.

Saliva can work too. Plus it sticks when it dries.
