Default Dry Suit Seals: Temporary Repairs?

I have acetone, mineral spirits, and two grades of isopropyl. Maybe
I'll experiment.


Don't use mineral spirits. It's oily and potentially harmful to latex.

The difference between commonly sold isopropyl alcohols is the water
content. They're usually either 70% or 91% alcohol (sold as rubbing
alcohol), though you can get 99.9+% isopropyl that's sold for other
purposes (electronics cleaning, for one). The more water, the longer it
will take to dry after cleaning, so there's no advantage to using the
more dilute grade.
