Replacing o'rings on an airbrush

What can be used in lieu of the o'rings on airbrushes? After cleaning, the tend to break apart.

Consider using an O-Ring with a different material - they make O-rings that are less susceptible to high strength solvents like viton and such.

I have not broken or replaced an o-ring on any of my airbrushes in over 15 years.

Check out the attached video. At 3:53 he changes out the o-rings for a beeswax alternative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkqCwc5-tbA
