Recycling collar in zipseals

[scubapilot2000]

I think the debate is pretty confirmed that the seals in zipseals don't seem to last as long as traditional seals.

I saw a post in my search that someone "planned" to replace his broken seal on his zip seal neck collar. Recycling the collar and not having to buy an new expensive neck zipseal.

has anyone actually done this? Are some of the traditional drysuit repair facilities providing this service?

Yes, we have heard many DIY attempt on this subject, but we haven't seen any actual job.

It is a doable and feasible project, but we haven't had any actual follow up.

I would like to see the picture if someone has it done.

My DS instructor planned to make a set of neoprene zip seals using just such a method. I'll have to touch bases with him and see if he ever did it.

I have been replacing the neck and wrist seals in my customers old zip seals for about 6 months now with great success.

You can visit the site at Drysuit Specialty Services - Drysuit Repairs, Parts, & Servicing

We charge $65.00 for the neck and $60.00 for a set of wrist seals.

Your price includes the seals, doesn't it?

Do you have any pictures to show the replacement job?


Hmm~~

The new DUI wrist seal replacement MSRP is $118. But, we might be able to get it in $90~$100 range.

With your service, we have to ship ours to you first and ship it back again. It might be another $21~$24 based on your S/H charge. Therefore, it is going to be $81~$84. With an Instructor or DM card, we can save $6 from the total though..

Curious if you offer that service for zip dry gloves?

I will post some pic's tomorrow of some current neck seals I have at the shop. The shipping charge can be changed to $10.00 for all areas considering the size and weight of the package.

It does include the seals and labor.

What type of latex do you use? (heavy-duty? brand?)
