'ky jelly' is such the lifesaver, i think. i just
use it on the edge of the wrist seal and not
near where it's glued to the rest of the suit.
however, i do use talc on my dry seals after i've
cleaned the suit. purpose there is to protect
them while the suit is not in use (i do the same w/my silicone swim cap, too)...funny, i never
knew that talc was a carcinogen...i wonder why
they use it in every pair of latex gloves in
each of those boxes in my lab...(??)...hmmm, maybe
it's not talc after all(???).
