I have read that using Gojo will soften the rubber on these gaskets. So I went to Napa to buy a small bottle and see. As it turned out, because I chose to get the bottle without the pumice, and not read the bottle, I ended up using Napa brand.
The gasket is softer. Much cleaner......but....leaves black on my hands when I touch it.
Once I realized I used the wrong stuff....I went back and bought Gojo. Does it matter which Gojo is used. I bought the plastic tub as opposed to the squeeze bottle.
Any advise is appreciated. I think I would prefer to just get a new one, but I believe that the new one won't fit as well as the old. Any truth to this?
Also, I want to use the plastic color strip that fits into the inside of the gasket. Do the new ones have a cut for this?
