I just saw a can of this stuff at a newly discovered fly shop the
other day. It looked like an expensive can of PAM.

But, don't knock PAM. Years ago, when I was dumb enough to leave the
fireside, strap on long, skinny skiis, and wander around on logging
roads in January, there was some stuff that presented itself as "Balls-
off" [ sweartogod ], used to spray on the bottom of the skiis to
prevent sticky build-up of snow. I found PAM was cheaper and better,
as it flowed well in the cold.

But..........if it is veggie or petro oil based, will it exacerbate
breakdown of the line / coating ?

cheers

oz, who has had the skiis on only once in the last ten years....not
much snow here'bouts
