Directions for Use:
1. Prepare the Suit:
• 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.
• Slide the new seal into the factory edge and secure it with an elastic band or bungee. Insert silicone/wax paper under the cut edge to prevent glue from sticking to the seal.
2. Clean and Sand:
• Clean the edge of the suit and the new seal edge with a solvent. Gently sandpaper it to roughen the surface. Ensure the small end of the seal is not overstretched.
3. Apply the Seal:
• Slide the seal over the factory rubber area and secure it with elastic bands if necessary.
• Roll back the new seal so that the 2cm edge that was over the old suit is now facing up.
4. Apply Adhesive:
• Apply a thin layer of Stormoprene Contact Adhesive to both the suit edge and the new seal edge. Wait 5 minutes, then apply a second layer of adhesive to each side. Use a spatula or knife to spread the glue evenly.
• When the glue is touch dry, roll the new latex seal into place over the rubber part of the old seal. Press firmly to ensure full adhesion.
5. Take Your Time:
• Ensure that the new seal is properly aligned and bonded. Take your time to avoid mistakes and ensure a long-lasting repair.
