I have a dry suit with neoprene cuffs and collar.

I consistenly get pretty damp due to my skinny/skinny wrists.

Is it possible to place a set of latex seals INSIDE of the neoprene seals?-I wouldn't be removing the neoprene just gluing a latex seal inside of it.

Where can I get instuction on how to do this?

Thanks
Mike
 
I can't think of anyway to make this work. You can remove the neo seals and have latex put on (probably), or possibly go to some style of dryglove.

I did what MechDiver mentioned. On my old drysuit I replaced the neoprene wrist seals with latex. But if you have skinny wrists, you will still get damp from latex wrist seals. (But probably not as much)

You would be better off going directly to the dryglove/ring system.
 
I too have very skinny wrists so I can relate to your problem. I had neoprene seals on my drysuit and was continually getting wet. I switched to latex seals and now stay completely dry.
