I've always wondered if user-applied pressure was at the root of the backing plate/felt ring issue

weekendwarrior convinced me to go ahead and lube my felt ring, but I use a really light firearms-grade lube.

I can't imagine a reason why *not*. I use Blue LT on all sorts of stuff like this (e.g., foamgun fittings). I'm not using it on *my* Flex 3401 only because I plan to switch back and forth between the oe backing plate and my Edge adaptor.
