I bought a drysuit about 2 years ago and after a year overseas am back home diving again. I'm ashamed to say I've forgotten a lot of the maintenance and storing particulars and was hoping you guys could help. The suit I have is a BARE NEXT-GEN shell suit.
A few questions:
1) How do I roll the thing up? Feet rolled first, arms folded in, leaving the zipper straight?
2) How often do I need to grease the rubber seals? I'm going diving next Saturday and would like everything to be in pristine shape.
3) I was told to wax the zipper by a guy in my dive club. Do I really need to buy over-priced scuba wax, or would a candle do the trick? In my limited scuba experience a lot of the fancy products (ie: goggle defogger, attachment cords for gear) are often interchangeable with materials found around the house.
Answers to these and any other info would be greatly appreciated!
