Thanks for getting back to me Jack you legend. Farrell did a job on most of my gear but I still need to do the ankles on my dry suit. Has anyone done this before? Thanks again Eoin F. you legend.

All seals are pretty much the same. Cut off the old ones, find out how to use the glue you've got and work away. Hardest part is finding a way of clamping the seal while the glue dries. A roll of cardboard, pringles tube, traffic cone, football, just find something that works. Evostick contact cement and Aquasure both work pretty well. I prefer the contact cement since there's no chance of it moving while it's drying. It's sort of unforgiving tho, once it's stuck it's stuck permanantly.

Socks are a little trickier though as they are closed on one end... Less forgiving for fŭck ups
I don't know what I'm doing here anymore
