Red grease and seals!!!

Bout to rebuild the calipers and had to get some of this castrol red grease for the seals
Question is how much do you apply ?
Plus any tips on fitting the seals/pistons would be great

i just used some brake fluid as i popped the seals and pistons in... I think as long as you use some form of slippy stuff that is compatible with brake fluid to stop damaging the seals, there isnt a problem..

I am i big fan of copper ease on the back of brake pads and on the bolts holding the calipers to the forks etc...

Yes, my thoughts exactly, do not introduce ANYTHING to a hydraulic system except hydraulic fluid.
