I need help. My o-ringhas come off the groove in the backplate and is difficult to get back in. Has anyone with a water housing experienced this??? I have run out of the silicon it came with and recently have been using silicon lube fro the dive store...???

Beware of using silicone which isn't specific to your o-ring (or which you know is compatible). Some silicones which are of the wrong type can swell the o-ring, making it impossible to get into the groove.
