before fitting the dust seal in the bottom of the outer chamber, you can insert some Oil Proof foam/sponge between the oil seal and the dust seal, then close it up with the dust seal.
This stops dirt from passing the dust seal and damaging the oil seal (much like the neoprene seal savers). He's never had a leaking seal since using this method.
He also mentioned to pre-soak the foam in engine oil (not fork oil) for some reason. Anyway, I'm currently working on my seals at the moment and might chase him up on it when I'm ready to assemble tomorrow.
