I have a waterproof d7 pro iss suit. I purchased a light monkey p valve. I’ve been reading, and watching any YouTube videos on the subject. It doesn’t look like rocket science to install it. It seems that lots of people glue (aqua seal) the valve body inside the suit. This means gluing a flat plastic valve body to the suit membrane. Does aqua seal stick to the plastic that well?
I came across one video, where the guy didn’t glue his light monkey valve. He cut a neoprene rubber washer, and installed that between the valve body and suit material on the inside of the suit. This makes for easy removal at any point for service and cleaning. However, I’d probably be checking that thing every two minutes, “did it work itself loose yet”?
What is the general consensus? Glue in vs removal later? What is best for my type of suit? I’m leaning towards trying the rubber washer approach. Thanks for any info.
