Everdry 4 neoprene cuff seals replacement

[tkovats]

Hi,

I have a 5 years old Everdry 4 that has 350-400 dives.
I sometimes experience some leakage at the cuffs.
My idea is to replace the current neoprene cuff seals with latex ones.

Did anyone replace them by his own? The only way I see is to trim them at the sewn seams although I do not feel comfortable just cutting them.

Any advice?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Cheers,
Tamas

I trimmed a set back to 1" long, then glued the latex to that. The back part was solid and smooth out. It worked fine.

Thanks, I just ordered the latex cuff seal and glue will give it a try early August.

If they haven't fixed them I wouldn't touch those oval wrist seals. They have been pretty awful. everyone I know who tried them, gave 'em up. Getting a reliable seal was UN-reliable.

Thanks for your replies.
I will go trimming the current neo cuffs and glus HD bottte neck latex seals. Just a bit concerned about the sewn seals thah might leak, and also to get rid of the aquaseal layers that I applied to fit ND dry gloves - that worked fine by the way.

Cheers,
