Scubapro frameless mask

[kombiguy]

I have one, and the skirt is no longer sealed to the glass, resulting in continuous leaks. This renders the mask useless, for all intents and purposes.
So, I've been giving some thought to using some aquarium sealant to reseal the skirt to the glass.
What do you think?

What have you got to lose? Either it works or it doesn't. I had an early GoPro and replaced the lens on the housing to reduce vignetting. I used aquarium seal for that and it worked out ok...no leaks. I also fixed a small leak in one of my old BC bladders with Dry suit glue. Worked fine. No leaking after a year.

Another thought is to contact Scubapro and ask if there have been similar problems with their frameless masks.

The adhesive should not fail in the first place, but it something that's been known to happen on rare occasions.

Scubapro replaced my at no charge. Odds are they will replace yours as well. Take it back to the dealer you bought it from.

Well, I'd take it back except I kinda disassembled it the rest of the way so I could clean everything before using sealer to rebed the glass. I'm going to just seal it with Dow 932 (IIRC) and see what happens. I had to get a new mask anyway, so I'm thinking of it as a grand experiment!

I'm not sure what sealant they use on the frameless mask, but I've never heard of anyone who got something to work on one, so if it works, let us know.

The mask has come to the end of it's useful life and should be replaced.
