I have an old bi laminate suit that fits great and has less seams then the new ones...but it is showing some wear. I am thinking of taking it apart and making a clone. I want to have it for a back up suit. I have lent out my old suit many times and its nice to have a spare. Its one of those suits that can fit almost anyone.
The zipper is still in great shape so I could use that over...I can install neck and wrist seals myself. I have had real good luck with taping and sealing seams. The only thing I am not great at is sewing....which I will have to hire out. Any suggestions for a good inexpensive waterproof fabric?
Any suggestions would be helpful...
Thanks
