Seal Maintenance

[Dive Right In Scuba]

LOL...NICE!! Glad to hear the install went smooth With the dry adhesive, it is a BREEZE to install seals with a little patience and good directions.

Tribolube SC is a sweet product, similar to others on the market but it contains very little silicon. This aides in future replacement of seals as the silicon plays havoc.

Good write up Jim, I will be sure to send everyone to you with their questions ROFL

Gee thanks Mike

Actually without you guys, I would not be nearly as 'brave' with my suit. The fusion really is very easy to maintain and repair.

We'll see how well I really did on Sunday when I dive the USS Hogan for my 500th dive

Have fun on your 500th dive! And lots of thanks for your write up, really good. You should put a disclaimer, though: blondes should not bother reading...

Dives went well and the seal was good

OK - reviving an older thread......

Whites recommends using Seal Saver which, according to McNett's web site is "100% silicone formula". Has anyone used any of the automotive silicone aerosol products? The reason I'm asking is I picked up can to lube my car door seals & reading the label it claims to be "safe on rubber....." and is about 1/10th of the price of Seal Saver........

I think the critical question there is what is it using for a propellant and what will that do to your seals?
