Conditioning the slide seals

My brother in law just bought a new TT and he didn't get one with a slide out. He said he didn't want to mess with conditioning the slide. He went on to say that his father in law told him not to get a slide because you have to condition it every time you use it.

Ah.. good old folklore. No, that's not true. I often wonder how this stuff gets started.

They do sell a spray-on conditioner, but honestly, all that ever did was make a mess on the wall, so I quit doing it, and my 14-yo seals are in pretty good shape.
