Default Dry Suit Seals: Observation

Per Davej:
You can make the suit easier to put on simply by powdering the inside of
the seals with talc.


Long long ago and far far away, I made my own full wetsuit.

No fabric was bonded to the neo - it was just the foam on the inside and smooth
rubber on the outside. Also no stitching or tape... just end-glued seams.

Went through quite a bit of talc during my ownership of that suit.

Never ripped, always very supple and easy to get on/off... I wonder if bonding
fabric to the neoprene is as important as people seem to think it is. Ditto
taped/sewn seams.
