Hello all,

Hoping for some advice please. I picked up a second hand Waterproof Draco dry suit in good nick for a good price.

Following a dive and a leak test, I have found a leak from the stitching around the pocket on the leg.

There are no seams inside, no i'm guessing I need to re-glue along the stitching externally?

Any advise on doing this and best products for a neat external finish that is flexible and waterproof?

Thanks!
 
Perhaps apply some Aqua Seal/Storm Sure to the area where the leak is located. I would also add some to the inside of the suit under the area of the leak as well.

Perhaps putting the Aqua Seal/Storm sure only on the inside might work to seal up your issue and keep the outside of the suit looking pretty...you can always apply to the outside of the suit if it doesn't work on the inside alone.
