Been through a few dry suits and more than a few neck seals.

Never before saw anything like this discoloration on this
almost-new neck seal:

Using McNair's UV Tech instead of 303 on these seals. First
time I've used it.

Harmless artifact of the McNair product?

Time for a preemptive replacement?


Weird! Looks like oxidation, the very thing 303 is supposed to protect
against. Almost-new seal, huh? Hmmmm.

Wash with mild soap, dry and 303 it again, and monitor for S/S
impaired seal integrity! (Gawd, I'm becoming a nurse! ;-) )
