Just a thought and looking for new ways to save money.
about three years ago, I purchased three, bc I have a daughters that's handicapped, and I have a bum knee. One day it hit me that it worked so well in tub area, that maybe it would work on ruler, voila! I have never had a problem with it.
I'm not sure why somebody was advised to put cooking oil on theirs. you never oil a rubber gasket on a pressure cooker, but they are exposed to heat, so I guess it will keep it from cracking. Mine is still like new. Got it from one of those junk mail catalogs, like spencers or carol wright. they were about 14.99 apiece.
