[quote="dlncooke"]Hi, I do know allot of people who use it for similar uses,
but i wouldn't use it mainly because of what's in it.

Active Ingredients: Petrolatum. Other Ingredients: Water, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, C12-15 Alkyl Lactate, Myreth-3 Myristate, Glycerin, Cetearyl Alcohol, Microcrystalline Wax, Tocopheryl Acetate Ceteareth-20, Carbomer, Tea, Ethylene Brassylate, Methylparaben, DMDM Hydantoin, Disodium EDTA, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate.
All this sounds interesting, I'm not sure what some of these things are !!!![/quote

I can see the problem right away, it's the tea.....

That's a lot of gear to make a slippery substance; just to smear on bedroom door handles!!! :lol:

I thought that vaseline and O rings were perfect mates.

When the kids were young we often used vaseline on the bedroom doorknob

They can be if made from a compatible material; Or used on the wrong substances will ruin it.
It always pays to try some out in a unseen area.
In my toilet system it is a no no.
