Try using flour... it makes a nice paste too! End of year jobbie for some poor unsuspecting person I think :O)

Never use talc for the reason given by Frogman.
Occasionally use KY, mostly to see the salespersons face when me and the missus buy a years supply at a time .
But mostly use nothing.

Only use O`three french chalk for the job, at £75 for 250g it just adds to the reasons why poor people can`t dive.

When I bother, baby talc and also rub same into seals after drying.
Only just had to change neck seal once in 7 years and changed the cuffs for good mesure but they were still ok and also 7 years old (otter britanic)

Spluffffffff... sprays coffee all over screen.

O Three are taking the piss here. We buy french chalk from an industrial supplier to sprinkle over our natural rubber seals at work during storage and we pay £3.56 incl VAT for 0.5kg. See- click here.

I also use it for drysuit seals in my comedy ex-Old Spice talc bottles. Perfect for the job and you only need a little to ease the seals on rather than making the place look like the final scene in Scarface.

I still can't belive that price. £75. Must be wrong. Divers surely can't be that dim as to pay that much. Surely... or maybe another product... WozLube. £37.50 for 250g. Half the price of O Three...

And BTW if you buy talc for your dive kit, anything with 'parfum' in the ingredients will rot the latex as it is oily. Even Simple and Johnson's baby talc has 'parfum' in it.
