Glue choices

I don't remember ever using seal saver but I guess it is possible. Is there some way of getting it out of the rubber?

I am really not sure but maybe heavy sanding with a Dremel or similar may work.

I'd try MEK/Methylethylketone. Nasty stuff, VERY volatile, use with PLENTY of ventilation. It will remove almost anything.....except aquaseal.

Is MEK better / nastier than toluene? I keep reading that toluene is the thinner used in most glues.

Can you even buy toluene anywhere?

Even MEK is being relegated to "substitute" stuff.

I agree though, MEK is great for drysuit glue prep. Wear gloves, do it outside.

in almost rural Florida toluene is available at Ace hardware
Klean Strip Toluene Solvent 1 gal. - Ace Hardware

Urecoat works well. Doesn’t stick to latex as well as aquaseal. I will use it for sealing trilaminate seams.
