STEP 1: Turn suit inside out.
Clean damaged area with McNett Cotol-240 plus or isopropyl alcohol.
Non-fabric surfaces such as latex should first be roughened with sandpaper, then cleaned.
STEP 2: Apply Aquasure in a 2 mm thick layer overlapping seam edges by at least 12 mm. Use included brush to saturate fabric surfaces.

Seam Grip, Freesole and Aquasure are moisture-cure adhesives. As soon as you pop the top on the tube and expose the adhesive to the moisture in the air, the countdown begins. Unfortunately, you are unable to stop the curing process, but you can slow it down by storing the adhesive in a dry environment like your freezer. We typically recommend storing as follows:
Begin by advancing the contents to the tube neck to remove any air that may be trapped in the tube. Next wipe the tube threads clean to prevent the cap from sticking. Next, cap tightly. Next, place the adhesive in a plastic zip-lock bag. Next, store the adhesive in a dry environment like your freezer. When ready to use, run the tube under warm water for about a minute.
While this will not stop the adhesive from curing, it will help slow things down.
We give an un-opened tube of adhesive a two-year shelf life. The “batch-number” will be crimped into the bottom of the tube. The adhesive is typically good for two years past the date of filling.
