Dale asked:
Is vaseline a good/best prescribed complement to the leather washer?
A petroleum product like Vaseline is NOT good for a pump leather.
Ideally use camphor grease but a vegetable grease or Crisco will work.
You could also use one of the shoe leather treatments such as you might find at REI or a mountaineering shop.
