    It's best to use the so-called SILFORM. To buy at gas stations and / or supermarkets. No Nivea cream or petroleum jelly or non-acid technical petroleum jelly.

    There are special silicone sticks for seals (something like office glue sticks) and this stretches over the seal. Effective and waterproof.
    Not every rubber likes WD-40.
