I did a beautiful job replacing my CF200 neck seal (considering I only had the ring on the seal, and couldn't get the suit clamped down flat)...
...But I glued the seal inside the suit...right side out. So once it's pulled through the neck opening...it's inside out.
Anyone see a problem with diving it this way? Other than my buddies making fun of me for gluing the seal on inside out? Is it more likely to leak with the shiny side in? If it matters, this is a USIA neck seal.
On a slightly related note, when I did my buddy's CF200, I didn't have so much trouble getting the neck part of the suit flat to tape on the installation ring. Mine is a 2000 model and his is probably at least 4 years older. Did DUI start putting a slight taper on at some point, or did I just not try hard enough this time?
