Gold Core issue

[shhya1]

I have an older Gold Core 5mm suit that is still in pretty good shape except for one issue. There are lots of areas where the seams on the inside are coming appart. You dont notice it on the outside but when u flip it inside out, a lot of the seams are separating. Will this effect my exposure protection? How can I fix this?

I'm a novice but . . . contact one of the custom places and see if they will sew it for you?

you can arrange to send it back to henderson for repairs.

buy some neoprene cement and put it together..but if the suit has around 200 dives on it or is around 4 years old it may not be worth it.time for a new suit.All wet suits wear out.thisis why purchasing a used suit usually does not make sense.the older the suit is the less thermal protection it affords .

Aqua-seal.

i have used aquaseal to glue up my old 5mm gold core suit in the past, at the splitting inside seams, and when the stitching started coming out on the outside, and it worked great. eventually the suit wore out (ripped apart in the leg, but oddly not at a seam). i am planning to replace it with another gold core. great suit. and apparently henderson is gluing all the seams on their suits now, finally, twas the only weak point for them.
