Dow Corning 111 is what we use on threads, such as pipe threads. So that the surfaces won't gall or bind.

I'm doing some pressure checks on a door seal mechanism. A large dia.
o-ring
fits into a groove around the door entrance. It has been machined to
correct
oring specs, but will not stay in the groove when door opens. I've not seen
any
recommendations that o-rings may be glued in the groove since they are
supposed
to be somewhat movable to seal against the groove/door junction. But since
these movements are quite small (mm), does anyone have experience with
using a
flexible gasket material/glue to hold the o-ring into place?

Two guiding principles govern Israel Naval Commando doctrine:

1.Every defense system is vulnerable.

2.The enemy can deal with weapons and operational methods that are known; for that reason, naval commandos use imagination, daring and initiative, to create situations which cannot be anticipated.
