Lubricant for Drysuit Zip.

[kennosen]

So I noticed the bottles of silicon lube in wickes that plumbers use to help in the assembly of drainage pipes, and wondered if it would be ok to use it on my shiny new drysuit's nuclear powered zip? The user manual says to use silicon lubricant, but is there any reason not to use the plumbers stuff?

 

I know its early days in the life of the suits monstrous zip, I'm not likely to catch my wanger in it or anything but it would make sense to be prepared.

As Yadiver says Beeswax is best but you can also use just candle wax if you want. Just do it regularly.
