Drysuit boot replacement

[amascuba]

I have a mobbys armor shell and looking to replace the boots on it with slightly larger boots. What shops do you guys use to do things like this? I'm just looking for ideas right now and probably will send the suit off when I find a suitable company. Thanks!

Well, since I have an Andy's I sent mine to Andy for boot replacement... but I'm going to do my own the next time.
I will use PB-300 glue.

Yer darn tootin' you will! Andy appears to have moved on to new challenges. AFAIK, his inventory has been sold and his number is going unanswered.


A man and his glue...its a beautiful thing...

I've got my glue all ready... just waiting for the boots to fall off.

I do a lot of repairs on both Mobby's and Andy's suits. They are both pretty easy to work on. If you don't have a source for glue, Ace Hardware has a Contact cement/adhesive. It is yellow in color. A Quart usually runs about $14.00. A Gallon $22.00. The main thing is to thoroughly clean both surfaces before you glue. Use MEK for best results.

Can I order the boots directly from mobbys or a mobbys dealer? I don't mind doing the boots myself .. I mean .. what's the worst thing that can happen? I get a leak .. It wouldn't be the first time I've flooded a drysuit

Mobby's is defunct. No More. Kapoot. Looks like USIA does drysuit repair, DUI repairs most brands and I'm sure there are lots of other places that do too, and then you can always try it yourself. Good luck my friend.

http://www.mobbys.com/ -- Are you sure about that? They seem to be alive and kickin to me.

Can a person glue the waterproof rubber boots found at outdoor stores to the legs of a wetsuit and get a watertight, usable result?

Try Gamblescuba.com he is highly recommended in the cave diving community. I replaced the POS boots on my TLS350 with DiveRite 905 boots-very happy with the combination
