Anybody done one of these?
On previous dry suits it's been pretty easy: 20-30 little magnets, lay the neck on a flat steel surface - like the hood of a car - mate the gasket and the neck material using the magnets to hold them together with some Kotol/AquaSeal as glue. 45 minutes max. But the Kokatat has this outer collar around the base of the seal that seems to prevent that. I tried cutting a 3" strip from a 5-gallon poly bucket and then expanding that inside the neck. But with the strip/neck material as taut as I could get it, the gasket was still a pretty loose fit. Seems like the gasket needs to be a snug fit to get a decent glue line. It also seems like, although the material lays perfectly flat on a flat surface, it doesn't want to lay flat on a cylindrical surface. Can anybody offer up some advice? Besides FedEx or UPS...-) -- PeteCresswell |
