Re:Drysuit latex neck seals
As far as the neck seal...HAIR!!! (OUCH... :o) I am almost tempted to try Fred's method. However , I have been using powder/talc and it seems to work just fine (most of the time...) Jean  P.S. And if anyone needs KY Jelly , let me know...  [/quote] And why do you have such an ample supply of previous mentioned product :o

Re:Drysuit latex neck seals
Ah, you've brought clarity to my foggy mind once again....
Now, back on topic..... I'm currently using a Dive Rite 905 with attached hood, and hate it (the hood) >  by the way... Has anyone noticed a difference in the durability of neck seals with/without the attached hood?

Re:Drysuit latex neck seals
I just wanted to report a happy ending with the neck seal problem. I had the blown seal replaced by Going Under. They replaced the seal in a week and the cost was around $75. The new seal looks like it was factory installed. Nice job.

Re:Drysuit latex neck seals
Good deal. Did you get a standard seal or the heavier one like your suit originally came with?

Re:Drysuit latex neck seals
Gosh, I don't know. The seal looks the same to me. I was able to pick from three different styles of neck seals. I picked the one that looked identical to my old seal.

Re:Drysuit latex neck seals
When I bought my drysuit I was told to use food grade silicon lubricant. I have seen the spray version at a few dive shops in town and use it before and after every dive.
It works great and no messy white powder all over. Does it boil down to personal preference or maybe seal type? It sure seems to keep the seals wet, slippery and looking good.

Re:Drysuit latex neck seals
No silicone!!!! That's what I was told by DUI. The silicone gets on the fabric (neoprene or trilam) of the drysuit, and when the seals do need to be replaced, it is impossible to get the glue to stick to the fabric because it has become impregnated with silicone.
Fragrance free talc and corn starch are the only two things I've heard that should be used.
