Then we created the professional version of the set for you. It contains other elements that we use when we change Seals in our shop:
The Arm Seal - Profi Set consists of
- a pair of latex Seal of your choice
- a set of 2K-adhesives (50ml tube and 10ml hardener)
- one tube Aquasure 7gr
- one meter AquaTape 22mm wide
- a bottle of cleaner 500ml- one brand - bristle brush 8mm wide

The Neck Seal - professional set consists of
- one latex Seal of your choice
- a set of 2K-adhesives (50ml tube and 10ml hardener)
- one tube Aquasure 7gr
- a bottle of cleaner 500ml- one brand - bristle brush 8mm wide
- one brand - bristle brush 12mm wide
- 1 roll of branded masking tape, painter's quality
The content of the adhesive is 50ml, which is approx. 46 grams. Due to the packaging, residual material remains in the tube so that, in our experience, the net usable content is about 42 grams. When applying 3 layers of material, one tube is sufficient for bonding one latex neck cuff or one pair of latex arm cuffs with one meter of our tape.
Info on neck Seal size determination:
Latex cuffs on dry suits have a limited life span due to certain environmental influences but also depending on the type of storage. Care products such as skin cream also shorten the life of the cuff considerably.
If the cuff becomes sticky or shows a fine crack formation, the cuff has to be changed.
We offer here high-quality cuffs from European production, available in 4 sizes which usually correspond to the dry suit size. If you do not know the cuff size, please let us know the neck circumference. Material thickness at the neck area approx. 0.75 mm.
Tip:
New cuffs have quite a lot of tension, like to put them over a small bucket etc. for a night before wearing them for the first time and stretch them to soften the material. If you cut it before, the cuff often expands after a few dives and water can penetrate.
Which size?
Usually the cuff sizes match the men's suit sizes. So Trocki in L, cuffs in L. Lady's skirts usually one size smaller - so Trocki in L, cuff in M. Often there is a number in the cuff - have a look.
We sell hundreds of cuffs a year according to the table, the table fits. Please call us if you are unsure. This is more frustration free ...
Neck circumferences from 30 cm to 45 cm in does not work in 4 sizes?
Sure - you have to cut off one or two rings... Gladly stretch the cuff 1-2 days before by means of pylons or small buckets. To cut the cuff we recommend to pull it over a large pylon and cut it with a cutter knife (with a new blade). One turns the pylons, one cuts with the cutter knife - without taking off.
The cuff size is good when you have put the cuff on; pull slightly on the cuff (this corresponds to the pressure you would otherwise have through the air in the dryer) - and the cuff will fit a good middle finger width. That is about 1.5 - 2 cm.
Tip: Often there is a number in the cuff - have a look. Use the size chart (below the pictures) as an aid to determine the size and call us if you are unsure.
Info on arm cuff size determination:
Latex Seal on dry suits have a limited service life due to certain environmental influences, but also depending on the type of storage. Care products such as skin cream also considerably shorten the life of the cuff. If the cuff becomes sticky or shows fine cracks, the cuff must be changed.
We deliver high quality cuffs from European production, available in 4 sizes which usually correspond to the dry suit size.
If you do not know the size of the cuff, give us the circumference of the arm as an alternative. Original equipment quality. The circumference for all cuff sizes on the mounting side is approx. 275 mm, diameter approx. 8.75 cm.
Tip: Often there is a number in the cuff - check it out. Use the size chart (below the pictures) as an aid to determine your size and call us if you are unsure.
Shipping note: Please note that hardeners, adhesives and solvents cannot be transported by air and therefore delivery to your country may not be possible.
Small bonding aid:
1. surface pre-treatment: The surfaces to be bonded must be clean, dry and free of grease and oil. Wash bonding surfaces with cleaning agent (e.g. ELASTOSAL® Lösit MEK) and allow to dry. If possible, roughen the surface slightly. Remove rough dust completely.
2. mix (only when adding the crosslinker): Mixing ratio: adhesive: crosslinker = 100 : 5 parts by weight The working time of the mixture (pot life) is at least 2 hours when the container is closed.
3. application and drying: 2-3 coats are recommended. Apply a thin, even coat to both surfaces to be bonded. Allow the first coat to dry thoroughly (approx. 30 minutes). Allow the last coat to dry briefly (approx. 5 minutes at 21°C) so that it is still slightly tacky when joining, but no longer stringy.
4. joining: Place the parts to be joined together accurately and join them together with strong contact pressure (e.g. using a roller or hammer). It is important that the bonding surfaces are in full contact with each other.
5 And then? We have tried a few things and have the best experience with sufficient resting times. For example, after bonding, we let the work area rest for at least 12 hours before we take the next step and, for example, turn the arm sleeve over and seal it from the inside. We also wait at least 24 hours before carrying out a leak test; then we again allow at least 12 hours to dry before continuing to work on a leak that has been found.
6. and otherwise? Attention: The recommended processing conditions are 15 - 25°C and 30 - 65 % relative humidity. In extreme weather conditions such as cold, rain, etc., the necessary processing conditions must be created at the work site by means of appropriate protective measures such as an additional roof, warm air supply, etc. Otherwise, if you are unsure or something doesn't work out, it is better to wait and contact us - we will be happy to help...
