It seems like I have seen some conflicting information on seal savers. For example, McNett makes a 1 1/4 oz bottle of seal saver juice. The PADI Dry Suit diver manual says
On the other hand the old guys at my LDS had recommended this stuff when I bought my dry suit a year ago.
The McNett bottle says it contains silicone. My dry suit has latex seals on it, and I just got it back after replacing the neck seal on it for some small pinholes. I expected the seals to last longer than 1 year.
So should I use the seal saver, or not?
Don't use silicone spray or any other product with silicone on the seals or any other part of the suit. Silicone makes it almost impossible to replace the seals when it becomes necessry. Note that some "preservatives" have silicone and are not recommended by some manufacturers.
