The Stormsure Latex Wrist Seal Repair Kit is designed for divers and water sports enthusiasts who need a reliable, professional-grade solution to replace damaged dry suit seals. Featuring durable bottleneck-style latex seals and high-performance Stormoprene contact adhesive, this kit allows users to perform critical maintenance at home to ensure a watertight seal. While it offers an excellent, cost-effective way to extend the lifespan of your gear, users should note that the process requires careful preparation and steady hands to ensure a successful, leak-free bond.

Yes, the Stormoprene adhesive is designed to bond effectively with both natural and synthetic rubber surfaces, making it compatible with most neoprene and membrane dry suits.
It is recommended to wait at least 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure before submerging the suit in water.
Yes, you can carefully trim the latex at the narrowest point of the bottleneck if the seal is too tight, but use very sharp scissors to avoid creating jagged edges that could lead to tearing.
The adhesive contains chemical solvents; it should always be used in a well-ventilated area and avoid contact with skin and eyes.
While intended for dry suits, the adhesive is generally effective on most latex materials, provided they are clean and free of oils.
Ensure the cap is tightly sealed after use and store the tube in a cool, dark place away from heat sources to prevent the adhesive from drying out.
The bonding surfaces may not have been sufficiently clean. Remove the seal, clean the area thoroughly with a solvent to remove old glue residue or oils, and re-apply.
Work in small sections at a time rather than applying adhesive to the entire circumference at once to maintain better control over the bond.
Use a tiny amount of the remaining Stormoprene adhesive as a sealant on the exterior seam of the wrist cuff to plug pinhole gaps.
To prepare for installation, use an acetone or solvent cleaner (not provided) to degrease the bonding surfaces of your dry suit. Ensure the suit is laid perfectly flat to avoid wrinkles during the bonding process. For long-term care of your new seals, avoid storing the dry suit in direct sunlight, as UV radiation degrades latex rapidly. Applying a silicone-based conditioner to the seals after each use will prevent drying and cracking. Store your suit in a cool, dry place and ensure the seals are not folded or compressed for extended periods.
