Stormoprene Adhesive

Stormoprene Hypalon Adhesive is a specially formulated 2-part poly-chloroprene based adhesive system for high-performance bonding of Hypalon and other natural and synthetic rubber surfaces that require high strength bonds for use in demanding applications.

Formulated for use in the manufacture and repair of RIBs, inflatable boats, liferafts, diving suits, wet suits and other marine and industrial applications that specify resistance to salt water, oil, fuels etc. 

Directions:

1. Cut off the damaged seal, leaving the part of the suit where the factory seal is attached to the fabric. The new seal will be glued over the old factory seal edge.

2. Slide the new seal into the factory edge and put an elastic band or bungee around the suit to keep it in place. Slide some silicone/wax paper under the cut off edge to keep glue from sticking to the seal, or you can put wax on the seal.

3. Clean the edge of the suit and the new seal edge with solvent (the side with the stripes is the inside.) Gently sand paper it to roughen the surface. Do not let the seal stick out too far, as the small end of the seal should not be stretched over it. It might cause the new seal to slide out of position.

4. Slide the seal on over the factory rubber area. You can put elastic bands around to keep the new seal from sliding.

5. Roll back the new seal so that the 2cm edge that was over the old suit is now facing up. Apply a thin layer of Stormoprene Contact Adhesive to each side. Wait 5 minutes and apply a second layer of adhesive to each side. Use a spatula or knife to apply the glue. When the glue is touch dry, roll the new latex seal right into place over the rubber part of the old seal. It bonds instantly. Press firmly over the glue area to ensure full adhesion.

6. Take your time.
