Stop using Park Tool grease on suspension forks

I rebuilt 3 Fox forks last month at my shop and every single one had Park Tool polyurea grease mixed in with the damper oil. That stuff turns to sludge after 200 miles inside a fork. Use Slickoleum or just plain Motorex. Has anyone else seen this wreck seals?

Man I've seen that exact mess. Park grease and forks just don't mix.

That 60 minute dry time on the chain lube can is a total joke when you're out on a ride. I read a review from some shop in Portland that said the same thing about Park grease attracting every speck of dirt within a 50 foot radius. @richardfox you're right, that stuff just doesn't break down right when it gets hot and mixed with fork oil. It's a shame too because their chain cleaner is actually decent stuff.
