Talc will do a simillar job , but if it gets damp with condensation for example it will go slightly crusty . Silicone spray will disperse the damp .
Vaselline will do a simillar job Ian .

Is this generic spray or something more specialist & can you get it at Hellfrauds?

I hadn't thought of that - now that I remember, I used to have a few trays in the boat that I used to own - worked well. I recall buying the trays and refills from Homebase.............
