Is Haynes Lubri-Film Plus suitable lubricant for Flair machines?

It seems everyone but me has had great luck with Molykote 111 which is a NSF H1 food certified, NLGI grade 3-4 silicone based Silica thickened grease on silicone piston seals. It worked fine for me on the black rubber seals, but when I switched (many years ago) to Cafelat Blue silicone seals the problems began. The seals

Shot inconsistencies with SSP Cast LS

Good stuff guys! Looks like I am about to go down a rabbit hole. Honestly though, if it comes to machining the carriers and what not, i'll probably not go that far
