drysuit in hot shed...

[Bowers]

as an update, i think im going to buy a solar power roof vent fan. the research im finding shows it doing a pretty good job at keeping temps close to ambient, and they're inexpensive.
also, after completely regluing the drysuit, i tried it in the pool a couple days ago. I noted a few small leaks still, found them and glued some more. then did a 20min pool dive today and came out bone dry!!! pb300 and some patient work payed off!

Great that everything worked out in the end. Can you share any details of the repair process? Might help someone in the future.

since every seam was compromised the repair was fairly straight forward. i used pb300 per some recommendations here on SB and it worked great (time will tell of the quality). with suit turned inside out, i started at the feet and worked my way up. the surfaces were wiped with a clean damp paper towel, then glue was brushed on a few inches at a time. seams were held togeter using wax paper and my fingers for about 30 seconds, rubbed out flat then let dry for 5-10 minutes before i started on the next several inches.
something to note is that the leaks i still had on my first pool test were all at junctions were multiple seams came together and the corner looked good but when "wiggled" a bit would show a small gap. so give those areas extra attention.
