installing si tech permanent wrist cuff system and neck ring myself?

[stanleychan]

hey, guys. I want to replace my drysuit wrist and neck seals to quick changeable ones and plan to do it myself. but the big problem is the wrist seals due to the diameter of the cuff. If the sleeve cuff is a little larger than the PU inner ring, is there any solution to that? what kind of adhesive would be suitable for the job ?is heat melted tape suitable for the job?（trilaminate drysuit ）. It would be appreciated if you could recommend me some books, articles or videos. thanks a lot.

I'd give Scuba Gear Diving Equipment | Dive Right in Scuba a call. They do this kind of thing all the time.

I installed my own on a DUI TLS-350 trilam suit last year. I bought the parts and glue from Dive Right in Scuba, called them for advice on what to buy, and when I ran into a problem with the sizing of the cuffs (mine were too small, not large, so I was able to cut back the sleeves). They put me straight through to the drysuit repair department and the guy there gave me lots of advice.

is a video I did about the wrist seals. The neck seal was much easier, though I did have to spend a ton of time cleaning the old glue off with MEK.
