Neoprene Drysuit Seals - Talc or Silicone Treatment?

[MaverickNH]

New drysuit - a Scubapro Everdry 4 compressed neoprene with neoprene seals. Do I want to use pure talc and/or drysuit seal saver (Seal Saver) on those seals?

I use cheap hair conditioner thinned down with water so that it flows well. It is cheap works great and is readily available . We dive dry here in alaska and u know many of us use this, i learned it from a dive buddy who has been doing it for many many years . On latex seals I. Use pure scent free talac

I use pure talc.

Hmmm...I never used anything on neoprene seals. What does the manufacturer say in the owners manual?

 

[fisheater]

Mine says pure talc. Hence, I use pure talc.

Don't use anything on neoprene seals, but it won't hurt either to use talc.

Dont need anything on neo seals. If hard to get on use KY jelly
