I just lost a Drysuit to the USPS so i was kinda gun shy about sending my new one out. So i decided to tackle this project my self. Honestly its not that difficult,if you have any kind of DIY skill this is a piece of cake. I did glue mine just for the simple fact,it made me feel better about it and i wasn't planning on removing it no time soon. So on to the procedure. All I done was cut a small slit where i had marked it at then took a pair of (rusty)emt shears and cut the hole out. I took the retaining nut and traced the inside circle of it onto the suit,so i would have a general idea of how big to make the hole. Sanded both sides that were gonna be glued,then applied the glue to the bottom(inside) part first. Then the outside retaining nut. Screwed it on and snugged it up with a pair of pliers. Haven't tested it out yet but i'm getting in the water monday so i guess we will see then.
