Peter,

Try purchasing silicone spray at a local diver shop.  Among its many useful functions for divers, silicone spray is best used to keep wet suit zippers zipping.  I use a brand called CRC Extreme Duty Silicone (CRC Chemicals USA) that I purchase from a diver shop here in my neighborhood.  It comes with a narrow tube extender for the spray nozzle, which I imagine can be useful when spraying shells with intricate shapes and sculpture.  I've never used silicone on shells though, so I can't say whether it would cause virid spots to develop on your shells.  ¦;-)

.. Could those out there using silicone please tell me some of the brand names that they are using and maybe I can get them here in Canada?
