Don't use anything besides Honda seals... unless you like to change them every year or so. I only install Honda seals on the forks I rebuild now, anything else is sub-par to say the least.

Old mechanics trick;
prior to installing new seal, tighten the spring on the seal.
This can be done by popping the spring off the lip.
Find the place where the spring it threaded together.
Hold the spring and twist it as if you were making the spring smaller in diameter.
Threading it into itself a little more.
One or two turns is enough.
This justs add a little more tention to the seal.
This could also be used in a bind if your current seal is leaking. Not a fix, but a band-aid at best.
