are easily to recognize and can accordingly be repaired. It becomes more difficult, if the

suit is wet inside. Then you should contact the next repair station.

If you are on a diving trip you can help yourself also: first the leaky place must be located.

In addition the suit must be set under pressure. Turn the suit from the inside outward.

Lock the the arms hermetically, e.g. a bottle or a beverage box from the inside into the

arm openings. Close the main zipper. You need now a second person, which presses

the neck seal together firmly around the second stage of the regulator and press the air

shower button. Blow up now they the suit on a table or the floor, until the arms and legs

are well filled and do not bend any more. With a brush and a soapy water you paint now

over the assumed places. Process thereby rather larger surfaces, than you assume. In

the leaky places, which seams do not have to be, bubbles form. Mark these places with

chalk or a tape. Dry now the suit again. If you should have it particularly hasty, you can

use a hair dryer in exceptional cases also. We advise against however for reasons of the

material stressing.

1. Neoprenesuits

Examine the defective place. Then you lay on highly liquid neoprene adhesive, which

embeds itself into the nylon layer on the leaky place in 3 or 4 layers. If you use thick ad-

hesive, air penetrates past out of the fabric. If the surface of the nylonmaterial is covered

completely with glue, the repair is finished. Dry it for a few hours and repeat the air test.

You can also use "Aquasure" or the like. Stick a tape around the leakage area and place

„Aquasure" really deep in it. Remove tape after you put „Aquasure" in. Let it dry 24 hours

and test again. However we recommend "Aquasure" only for the extreme emergency,

since our warranty is than void.

2. Trilaminatesuits with hot melt tape

Examine the defective place. The bubbles will arise usually at the side of the seam. Warm

up the tape carefully with a hair dryer and take it off with a screwdriver or a like carefully.

Fold it back and place neoprene adhesive on the suit area under the tape. Hold the tape

open during the glue dry with a match or similar. Apply a second layer of glue. Wait until

dry and apply a 3rd layer of glue. After complete dry warm up the tape again with the hair

dryer. Press now the parts firmly together until the tape sticks completely. Now a further

layer adhesive can be put directly on the edge. Let it dry for 24 hours and make an air

test. Trilaminate suits, which are glued on the inside with neoprene tape can be sealed

simply with highly liquid adhesive. Apply the adhesive 2-3 times on the place where the

bubbles arise. Press the part tight and let it dry 24 hours. The replacement of a seal you

should better let for specialized repair workshops. If you use „Aquasure" on them do it

only on limited areas, as places where „Aquasure" is used cannot be repaired anymore.

The Parts must be cut off completely.

General repairs should be made only from certified service shops.
