Here's a tip for ya' RE: Silicone - Go to a Scuba Dive Shop and buy yourself some "Dive Silicone" in the aerosol can - look for McGraw; it's in a green can w/a black top. Why? It's 100% "Food Grade Silicone". What does THAT mean? Well, for one, it means you can eat it, LOL! Beyond that, it is 100% PURE SILICONE - nothing ELSE! It repels, does not ATTRACT - water, like MOST other lubricants (read: WD-40). There is NOTHING BETTER for your weatherstripping - I run it all over mine twice/year, and all my weatherstripping is still like new! Door hinges, and everywhere you get a squeak - excess just wipes off; won't hurt ANYTHING! Been using it for 45 years now - it's one of my "Magic Elixirs"!

Further tip: When you buy it, you'll notice that it has the "wrong" nozzle on it, in that the nozzle won't accept a plastic "hose" extension. Dig around amongst all your other aerosol cans for a nozzle that both DOES accept one of those red hoses AND that extends down into the can. Once you replace the nozzle with one of those, you're good to go!
