Do you use new gasket?

What do you use to lube it?

No, I use the old gasket. I do inspect the gasket for any damage and if there is any flat spots. If there is, I change the gasket. I have some gaskets that I got locally, they are generic in size and comes in most of the common sizes. As for the lubricant, I use silicon grease that I get from my watch guy. I am not sure of the brand.
