So I went with the latex seals. It wasn’t difficult once I figured out how to get the seals folded back. I went with DAP weld wood and did several coats on both the fabric and the seal, with drying in between and a wallpaper roller to finish up. It’s not pretty but I’ll have a chance to test it in a couple of weeks. Most of the time was waiting for the cement to dry. Glad I gave it a go, the next time will be much quicker. Thanks to the board for all the help, both in the archives and in this thread.
As a note for next time. The DAP will hold the seals without issue, I have used it in a pinch before. It gets very stiff in cold temperatures. If you are winter diving and the surface temps are below freezing, the glued area will be stiff as a board. Next time, if you can find it, look for Pilobond 25. It goes on and functions the same, but it remains pliable at low temperatures.
