Hi folks,
   With the post Hurricane cold snap coming, I decided to break out my
dry suit for some preventive maintenance. I seem to recall that it is
not recommended to use armorall on the rubber gaskets. True? If so, how
about 303 protectant? If not, what would you recommend?
   Both my trusty dry suit and I thank you for your tips...
Regards,
Sluf

My drysuit is Kokatat and they say to use 303. They say to use 303 several 
times during the year to keep the gaskets supple.
Thanks for reminding me I need to work on the neck gasket of my suit now or 
when I go to use it I will turn a matching color.  I'm thinking this might 
help in the stretching process I will now go engage in.

As I recall, Kokatat recommends application of 303 to the gaskets about
every 6 weeks, whether the or not the drysuit has been used.
