In addition to patching the dry suit itself with the heaviest material you can find...such as cordura...you might want to do a bit more with the kayak's seat than you have. You mention smoothing down the screw heads on the seat and putting ducttape over them. Just to be on the safe side you could apply a neoprene patch to the seat in that area as well. Use the neoprene from a patch kit and apply with aquaseal. This way there would be no chance that the screws would ever again start rubbing against your suit, say if the ducttape comes unlodged. Also the neoprene patch would add a bit more grip to your seat, which is always good to have. ralph diaz -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
