Stormsure Latex Wrist Seal Repair Kit (Bottle Neck Shape)

This kit contains all the components that you need to replace the Bottle Neck shaped wrist seal on a drysuit. Full instructions are on the pack. Read them carefully and you will make a good quality water tight repair at a fraction of the cost of sending the suit away for repair.

Directions:

1. Cut off the damaged seal, leaving the part of the suit where the factory seal is attached to the fabric. The new seal will be glued over the old factory seal edge.

2. Slide the new seal into the factory edge and put an elastic band or bungee around the suit to keep it in place. Slide some silicone/wax paper under the cut off edge to keep glue from sticking to the seal, or you can put wax on the seal.

3. Clean the edge of the suit and the new seal edge with solvent (the side with the stripes is the inside.) Gently sand paper it to roughen the surface. Do not let the seal stick out too far, as the small end of the seal should not be stretched over it. It might cause the new seal to slide out of position.

4. Slide the seal on over the factory rubber area. You can put elastic bands around to keep the new seal from sliding.

5. Roll back the new seal so that the 2cm edge that was over the old suit is now facing up. Apply a thin layer of Stormoprene Contact Adhesive to each side. Wait 5 minutes and apply a second layer of adhesive to each side. Use a spatula or knife to apply the glue. When the glue is touch dry, roll the new latex seal right into place over the rubber part of the old seal. It bonds instantly. Press firmly over the glue area to ensure full adhesion.

6. Take your time and it will work.
