From time to time lubricate your zip by striking paraffin wax (candle) or bees wax along the inside and outside of the zip teeth. This will keep it running smoothly so prolonging the life of your zip.
Latex Seals
Seals should be talced before suit use, and cleaned with fresh water and re-talced before storage after use.
Be extremely careful when using suntan lotion as contact with the seal will cause irreversible damage.
Neoprene Seals
Seals may be lubricated with baby lotion on the smooth skin side and should be cleaned with fresh water after use.
Suit Storage Instructions
Ensure your suit is rinsed and dried after use.
Leave zip open when storing for prolonged periods.
Store in a clean, dark, cold environment (approximately 10-20 degrees C)
Always ensure the suit is protected from direct sunlight and fluorescent lights as this may cause perishing.
Care should be taken to minimise excessive folding of the zip, especially when left open.
Suit Transportation
Always have the zip fastened as this can be cracked very easily during transportation when left open. (A crack will cause a leak)
