Anti Stick gel?

[Wenjin]

Hi, I have a canon S1 with the underwater casing. So far i have just brought it to Wild Wild Wet to test out the casing.

I noticed that water sticks onto the underwatercasing lens. Thus when i take a picture, there is a 'spot of water' on the pic. Is there any gel that i can purchase to coat my casing's lens?

I have tried searching in google. But all i got was scientific articles regarding water tension. Very interesting stuff.

Can anyone recommend me a gel? Most shops just sell anti-fog sparys

try rubbing some apple juice, works pretty well but after a few dips into the water it will wear off, so you need to rub it on again

I am not sure if this will work. But I know of some windscreen treatment solution which coat the glass surface to make it hydrophobic (repel water) and water just roll off the glass easily. Also don't know how long will it last or will it cause any damage (to the casing not the glass).

Got these off the web.
