I hope there's no chance of damage :) I went for ceramic grease over
organic as I understand it's fairly inert. I'm no chemist though and I
don't even know what the seals are made from.
A check of my cylinders (which had this treatment about 18 months ago)
shows they are still holding pressure and in the transparent ones I
can't see any visible degradation of the seals. So far, so good.
