Home depot also sells it. Remember a dime size will do ALL of the rubber.

Secret hint: Go to a scuba dive shop and ask for some silicone grease. They sell it in small containers for wetsuits and scuba equipment. About a buck. It's nice, smooth stuff, perfect for your seals.

The other option is Dow Corning DC3, sold at Aircraft Spruce. It's a little thicker, but used on airplanes for lubing oil filter gaskets and door seals. It's also good on electrical connectors to keep moisture out. Sold in a lifetime supply tube for about $13.
