I could use some advice on this one. I have what we divers whould call a Semi-Dry suit, but we waterskiers would call a dry suit(no inflation capability or "P" valve). I recently aquired a sample of some food grade silicon lubricant made for SCUBA gear from my LDS. This stuff is really slick and I was wondering if it will harm the zipper on my semi-dry if I use it instead of wax. I know that wax has been the accepted method for keeping a zipper working smoothly, but this silicon spray seems like it would do quite well. Anyone ever tried it?

Thanks,
