Default Dry Suit Seals: Observation

I've expressed suspicion with these 303 type treatments in the past. I have had
a dry suit ($$$) with frequent application of 303 stored in the same closet as a
drytop ($) that never got 303. The untreated has outlasted the treated.

I have pair of pure latex overshoes that I've worn over dress shoes in the rain
for over two decades. Never treated with anything and they get _walked_on_ when
used. Still going strong.

Now I only use McNett's stuff sparingly on latex that's exposed to UV frequently
and not on any other latex. YMMV.
