I'm still searching for a pair of rings that I can get my hands through. So for now I wanted to get the seal back on. I had not thought of sandwiching the suit with rings. The rings I currently have (don't fit over my hands anyway) use an o-ring to fasten on to the suit. The suit is fabric CF200 except where the seal attaches but if that is flexible enough it may be a good idea. I did try putting on a DUI zip seal today and I can get my hand through it because the thing is flexible. I just don't want to get raped on the price of buying them and having DUI install, and the $60 leak test.
I've used commercial adhesive from drysuit manufactures and it normally goes bad between changes. I think I'll experiment with some old seals and see what happens with the tire adhesive. I have also heard of the Bostik but have not found any around where I live. I'd like tobe able to walk into Lowe's or Home Depot and get something that will do the job as well or if not better than the high $$ stuff shops sell.
I'm really hoping to find a good set of rings that will fit and I can eliminate the seal completely. I have some paralysis and loss of use in my left hand and don't do well at manipulating the right hand seal. This is on top of my freakishly large hands and wrists.
The ring direct to the suit and cold inner tube adhesive are good ideas. Thanks guys.
