A cloth,

Then smear very lightly with silicone grease,

Better still get a new O ring

Replace it anyway, if it's damaged or old it will not hold and eventualy leak with a little pressure. If it's a cheap camera you don't mind flooding, try it?

Bloomin hell young one!

If the film is worth more than the camera just buy one of those 5m surface jobs, they cost less than one "O" ring for my camera!
