Jim: I would be a bit more patient with the jar and not trim the gasket. What size jar are you using? The gasket will stretch. Put a liberal amount of 303 on the gasket as well. Jim Holman wrote: I picked up a drysuit recently and would like to start using it. The ankle and wrist gaskets are fine, but the neck gasket is like a hand continually at my throat. I can't stand to have it on for more than ten seconds. I tried putting a large gallon jar inside the gasket to stretch it out, but that didn't seem to have much effect. So I think I'm going to have to trim it so as to reduce the strangulation effect. I would appreciate any advice on how to do this, and on what comfort level it is reasonable to achieve, without compromising the dryness of the suit. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
