Anyone have a metalic lining on their suit?

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 90 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
ohh, now both of me are confused! my take is that spearfishing is simply 'applied freediving'. Wanna go freediving? Well why not take a speargun just in case?
 
and I use baby talc which surely is the safest??

A thought about baby talc, if you can find out what's in it, because some baby talcs have stuff like mineral oil or petroleum distillate (vaseline-like coating of the powder particles) and they can be bad for the rubber.

I've been using pure talc, which can be gotten from snooker & billiard suppliers, and some chemists shops carry it. I've found eBay is the cheapest place ot get it though, and online places that sell latex clothing.

Just depends on what the formulation of the baby powder is like. It'll be fine if it doesn't have any oils in it.

(BTW- what really gets gross if you have to pee in your suit is cornstarch :p - is anybody still using cornstarch? )
