This involves using a small clean plastic bag containing a small amount of lubricant. The O-ring is
inserted into the bag, worked around to evenly coat with lube while squeezing off excess, then taken
out of the bag and used in its location - Fig. 2.

(26) Another way is to apply a small amount of lubricant to the gloved index finger and massage the O-
ring between the thumb and index finger.

Under most circumstances, a lubricant should be used very sparingly or not at all. In nearly all
scuba applications, if you can see the lubricant, too much has been applied. Before using any lubricant,
any existing lubrication should be removed before new is applied. In dynamic applications, it is used to
reduce excessive wear. Static O-rings do not generally require the use of lubricant.
(28) Do not unnecessarily lubricate parts. Certain parts are specifically noted to be installed without
lubrication. It also helps to keep those parts clean and free of debris that will cling to the lubricant. Not
lubricating unnecessarily helps to keep those parts clean and free of debris that might otherwise cling
to the lubricant.
