Default Climbing Beeners in a sea kayak

Neoprene is the one that can skank up a car.
My Polypro is not to bad as our weather on the ocean is never realy
that hot.
The Neoprene though. I have had to leave the booties and wet suit in
the boat or tied on the straps holding the boat to dry out.
I have been testing a lubricant, Fluid Film , on the biners . They are
still not on the tow systems; but fluid film does not damage Latex, it
stains fabric but does not damage the fadric or the plastics and nylon
.. It seems to be holding out and may be an answer. I am still mot going
back to aluminum or alloy biners in my sea gear any time soon though.
