divers2:where can you buy talc fir dry suits
Stay away from Talc. It's becoming the next Asbestos. (talc that's mined near asbestos can contain asbestos, and talc is also a problem all by itself)
I've never used anything on my seals, and they've been just fine.

Got mine here. One bottle has lasted me 3 seasons. Non-scented. Very good on the seals. Highly recommended. If you have spare seals (like Zip seals) talc them up and put them in a zip lock.
Another good place is our own Bob3 - he sells it in squeeze bottles. I like his, too.
Nothing beats that first dive of the day - when the seals are freshly talc-ed and they just slip on like new! Love it.

why not just use seal-saver instead of talc? You don't have the mess AND your conditioning the seals everytime you get into them.

I've foregone the talc and use J&J baby shampoo for donning my dry suit.

I've also heard of people using "personal" lubricant, although I've never had the nerve to walk into the drugstore and ask for a quart bottle.

Think about the J&J is that you can use it also for mask defog, rinsing gear and it's original purpose, washing your hair.

You can by unscented talc at a pharmacy. I buy a bottle about 1 time every 2 or 3 years. Works great. Just make sure you get unscented talc.
Clearly, you have yet to master the black arts of the internet.Web Monkey:I've also heard of people using "personal" lubricant, although I've never had the nerve to walk into the drugstore and ask for a quart bottle.
