For a garment costing as much as it does, it is surprising it didn't come with instructions and tips for use. It did come with a note describing the importance of using 303 on the gaskets. One question I have about this -- Should I spray it on one side of the gasket, wait, and wipe (per the instructions) and then put the drysuit away, or should I turn the garment inside out and then spray, wait and wipe the other side too? In other words, does the 303 penetrate the gasket sufficiently so that treating only one side is sufficient? -- Bob Hume >> BOB, I squirt a bunch on both sides and then rub it in and hang it up. I also srpay the zipper on both sides as well as put Zip Ease *on* the zipper teeth. I also spray 303 on fastex buckles, nylon webbing, compass base, rubber hatches, basically anything plastic or rubber that is exposed to the elements.
