Hi

Replacing neck seals is much more finicky than replacing wrist or ankle seals. Finding a suitable form that fits the new gasket is the key. A pylon or cone shape thing works the best.

the neck seal flares out at the bottom.

I don't know about a "neck gasket replacement kit".

I've used AquaSeal, with the new gasket over the old one (Cut down to about two inches) and fitted over either a lampshade, a bucket or even a large enough bottle.

If you can spare not to have your old suit for a week, then send it express to Jamie Dors at Paddle Sports Repairs (in a shoebox works best).

He's really good and his prices are very reasonable and he'll send it back to you Express in the same box you send it to him.

Here's his link:

Good Luck,

I was just wondering if anybody had a Neck gasket replacement kit I could borrow. I'd like to replace the neck gasket on my old drysuit. Thanks!
