Just a heads up though guys, if you think that compressing an o-ring will make them seal better, they won't, they will spread and start to become unseated, they work best just touching the surface, unless you have square profile o-rings, but in all my years of engineering, I have never found squishing an o-ring to make it seal better, it only makes it leak worse.
