DUI's glue works great and is my first choice.
Aqualseal also works but it is very hard/impossible to remove when you change seals later and sets so slow even with an accellerator that application is problematic on a neckseal. It will work fine on a wrist seal where you can leave the seal/suit joint in place over a suitable insert.
Rubber cement will also work in a pinch as it sets up quickly and is suitably strong if you apply a nylon tape over the top of the joint.

I like OS systems PB400.
Nice folks to deal with too.
I also like there commercial seals, nice balance of thickness and durometer.

Ah, its was a rough Monday, I have the high tech version that is not released yet 
I bought a quart can last time also, do you need to do anything special to prevent it from drying out?

Make sure that you close it properly and if it starts to thicken up, just add a little MEK to thin.
They had some people that expected the little 4 oz cans to keep the glue fresh forever and, as we all know, those little cans only seal once ... when brand new. So OS has changed to tubes for the 4 oz size. You can't thin it out, but it is less likely to dry out due to a bad lid.
