FAQs
How long does the adhesive take to cure?
For best results, allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before submerging the drysuit in water.
Can I use this on silicone seals?
This kit is specifically designed for latex and rubber. Please check your drysuit manufacturer's specifications as silicone often requires different bonding agents.
What is the shelf life of the Stormoprene adhesive?
If the cap is tightened securely after every use and stored in a cool place, the adhesive should remain viable for several months.
Are these seals universal?
They are designed to fit most standard drysuit cuffs, but you should verify your drysuit's wrist diameter before beginning the installation.
Do I need special tools to apply the glue?
A small spatula or spreader can help ensure an even layer of glue, but the tube applicator is generally sufficient for most users.
Troubleshooting
The seal is leaking after installation
Check for air gaps or uneven adhesive application. You may need to clean the area and apply a small touch-up of adhesive to the specific leak point.
The seal feels too tight on the wrist
Latex seals can be trimmed slightly, but do so with extreme caution. Use very sharp scissors to create a smooth, straight edge to prevent tearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To replace your seals, begin by carefully removing the old seal and cleaning the area with a degreaser. Apply the Stormoprene adhesive to both the sleeve and the new cone seal, allowing it to become tacky before carefully joining the pieces. To maintain the life of your new seals, always rinse them thoroughly with fresh water after each session and store the drysuit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Dusting the latex with talcum powder between uses can also prevent the rubber from sticking or cracking over time.
