List,

I loaned my twin Al 92's to a buddy, and got it
back with white powdery stuff on the o-ring seat,
o-ring but not on the neck threads. I cleaned it out=20
manually, greased it up (o2 lube) and put in a new=20
set of rings.=20

Now, 5 months later, a small leak has started up
quite likely due to the same problem.
I now have a Dremel in the tool box, but is there any
other procedure I might do to stop the corrosion?

Thanks
