Pretty sure that all seals on the Flair58 are made out of silicone

It depends on the composition of the seals. Although Haynes Lubri-Film Plus can't be used on natural rubber, it can be used to seal and lube metal, synthetic rubber and plastic parts. These days, Nitrile, Neoprene, Ethylene Propylene, Silicone, Fluorocarbon, and PTFE (IE Teflon) are used for most O-rings and seals in preference to natural rubber. I've used it on
