Old inner tubes and Aquaseal has worked for me.
Now that somebody's said it, I'd think bicycle inner tubes would be good -
thinner, more flexy.... and they're available in different materials, although I
don't have a clue what the significance on one material vs the other would be
for gasket repair.
Well, I decided to try using rubber electrical tape since it is
thinner than the bicycle inner tube, but it didn't work well. The
surface of the tape seems to be too slippery. Maybe I need to rough it
up with sandpaper -- or maybe it isn't a compatible material?
Don't waste your time. You can repair it by gluing other types of rubber
to it, but tape isn't going to work.
Basically it seems that repairs are only possible where the seal
doesn't stretch much. Where would I go for seals for a Henri Lloyd?
Are sleeve diameters standardized? Thanks.
Check with OS Systems (
www.ossystems.com). They're the best source I've
found for seals and they make a broad range of sizes, which helps to
reduce the amount of trimming necessary to get the right fit. Several
dry suit manufacturers use their seals, I've never heard of Henri Lloyd.
