I have to get the Seals on my Drysuit replaced. Should I treat the new ones with McNett Seal Saver or 303 to keep them maintained ? Appreciate the advice. I use 303 on my kayaking seals (but not as often as I should)
 
don,

Most of the manuals and dry suit divers I know recommend just coating them with pure talc between uses. I bought one of those little shaker bottles from Trident and it's lasted for years, and so have the seals.
 
I like to use both. I use talc when getting dressed, but like to rub some seal saver into the seals for in between dives. I think it is like waxing the zipper. I have had the same seals in my suit for several years also.
 
keep em clean, Body oils and sun light will do them in,
talc may dry up the oils or help,
I use a light mix of ivory tm. to help the slide on of wrist seals when I don my suit and remove get over a 100 dives on a wrist seal before a replacement,
