IMO most of the experimentation has already been done for you ... people are using what has been proven to work and it has changed little over the years. OTOH ... if you wanna experiment ... make your objective trying to find non oil based products that will work on nylon ... due to pollution rules nylon users are having a tougher time every year finding suitable coatings ... Goop excepted.

It probably sounds silly, but I was thinking of experimenting with canvas and/or nylon and coating it in a spray on truck bed liner or that plasti-coat stuff you buy to dip your tool handles in to give them a new rubberized non conductive handle. I figure if that stuff adhered to the cloth it would almost be like a hypalon coated hull.
