Subject: Neopreme seals and silicone

I have happily used a neopreme neck seal on my CF200.  It has stretched over
the years.  I've had to make a V cut in it, cement and sew it back together.
Works great and keeps my long neck nice and warm.

The neopreme wrist seals leaked at the tendons 95% of the time.  I've got
latex seals on the wrists now.

I was told that if I used silicone on the zipper or seals and it got on the
suit material that a new zipper or seal was to be attached to, I would be SOL.
The factory would tell me they can't glue them and my suit would be trashed
or at best the contaminated material cut away.  I'll stick with talc. A dry
powder is usually on rubber tubes for bicycles from the factory. Talc can't be
too different. Talc is used to put on latex clothes that are fashionable in
some social groups.
