So my drysuit has started to leak at the zipper. DUI CF200 thats almost 6 years old.
Looks like the zipper rubber is falling apart at sealing side next to the small teeth.
Is this normal after 300 or so dives?
Pricing the zipper, and new seals was almost the cost of a new suit.
So I bought a new DUI TLS. I'm liking the shell type suit, but would like to fix the other for a backup suit.
I was going to try to replace the zipper myself. Looks like its just glued in place. I was thinking about cutting the old zipper out, and gluing the new zipper on top of the old,
or is it better to remove the entire old zipper? The old zipper looks like its really glued in good. Does anyone have any pointers for this? Any recommendations on glues that I should be using? Should I just ship it out for repairs?
Thanks
