The Netherlands (North West Eu... | Hi All,
I have a “Nylon” dry suit and the rubber feet are no longer watertight.
Does anyone know which glue to use to fix them ?
Please describe the glue material because I am not sure that the brand names available in the US. are also for sale here in Europe.
Thanks
Rob

Long Island, NY | I know of a catalogue that caries the glue, but I'll bet my bottom, or my bottom dollar, for that matter, that on Nov. 7 this website will be offering it! I have an extra tube around here someplace from my last seal job...
Sail Fast,
Ed Norris

The Netherlands (North West Eu... | [color:"blue"] [/color] Thanks for the reply Ed, please let me know the brand name as soon as you have found the tube.
I forgot to mention that the rubber strip normally at the bottom of the pant is no longer there.
The Suit came with the boat when I bought it last year,
I am trying ever since.

St. Louis, MO, | "Aquaseal" is the name of the stuff you want. It's available through Murrey's Marine. It lasts quite a while. I have a repair that has been together for about 5 years now and still holding.

Annapolis Md. | Rob. See if the manufacturer of the drysuit has a web site or visit the website of another manufacturuer i.e. Gill, Stohlquist, etc. or call a dive shop. Good Luck!
Still hazey after all these beers.

The Netherlands (North West Eu... | Hi Crew Dog,
I have tried to contact the supplier of the suit Ïmhoff”.
They told me to use a common household transparent glue, obviously that did not work.
I will try a diving shop and the Gill and Cat sailor web shop
Thank you all for your input.
I will let you know what works the best..

Burlington, Vermont USA | Aquaseal can be found at many watersports shops. (It's commonly used by kayakers for everything from wetsuit seals to sprayskirt repairs.)
