Removing old seam tape and seals

[jlcattini]

Hi all, I will try my first neck seal replace and I have a question - what the name of the strip that are gluing over the seal on the picture attached ???
When (and where) do you use melco tape on the replace ??
Is PB 300 the glue for latex seal on cordura material ???

thanks for any information

You could use rubber from McMaster Carr 9028K225 on the wrist seals. Cut strips to the length and width you want.

Maybe other people have a better idea.

PB300 is good stuff and should work just fine for what you're doing I would think.

Hi Randy thanks by the information. Is there other alternative of strips that you guys use when you replace the seal ???

Jose, if this is your first DIY suit repair I'd recommend getting the book from Airspeed Press called
"WETSUIT AND DRYSUIT MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR" by Steven Lindblom

Last time the wrist seals were replaced there wasn't any tape or rubber on the outside of the suit. The inside was sealed with Aquaseal.

This time I'm going to make it look a little snazzier by using the rubber I mentioned in the previous post to cover the area where the wrist seal meets the suit as shown in the picture shown in this thread.

I don't know where to buy the strips shown in the picture, only know to cut them from a sheet of rubber.
