Anybody using rotary aviation seals?

Just want some info on these 2mm seals from rotary aviation to see if their actually stronger as they claim. So far Ive only heard that they flex instead of breaking and looses compression temporarily any truth to this?

There's a thread in the search where they discuss this. A long time ago yes the seals were prone to flexing and becoming weak. But its been fixed for a while and people have been having no problem with them.
