Has anyone used the fifthd bellow glue on pockets on a trilam suit and if so how well did they stay on and how long did the glue hold up? Thanks in advance Jason.
 
I know someone who put two on their TLS350. Send it in with your drysuit to Superior Diving Repair. It will be the best mounting job you can get.

Have someone sew it on.

I put one on my TLS350. It kept peeling away after a few months using the 5thD glue, so I used neoprene cement instead.

I can't speak to long term durability but I just had a set of 5th D pockets installed on my TLS350 by Superior Drysuit Repair. The pockets are glued and sewn on. They look like they will hold up very well.
 
I have 2 on my nex-gen and can't imagine any material being more difficult to glue to. Duct tape wouldn't even stick. I sanded lightly, cleaned with cotol, and used viking glue (black stuff). Have about 40 dives or so on them now and no signs of peeling.
 
Thanks to all for advice. Jason
