@@DrySuitProjects But a pair of neoprene socks are already stitched? Wouldn't it be possible to simply turn them inside out and seal all the seams, and them attached them to the suit? What about using trilaminate material to make a pair of socks from scratch? That should be easy to stitch. 🤔 Maybe?

Few questions. What are you using in your dremel to sand off the old stuff? Is the aqua tape the heat and stick kind? Do you just not heat it?

Sometimes the glues previously used are not susceptible to the heat. Another point against using the heat gun is that it “revitalize” the thermal glue used before. So getting rid of the old glue becomes nearly impossible

@@DrySuitProjects I did mine with the seam ripper (because I don't have nail scissors, but did have two seam rippers in my sewing kit) - I did bite into the fabric once before I got the hang of it. (Fortunately in an easy part to patch) The technique that worked best for me was being very careful at cutting the seams at the start (from the outside, one stitch at a time) and then when I got it separated I could slide the seam ripper in between the lip that was stitched and the zipper and slowly push the seam ripper forward and take out about 3-4 inches of seams at a time.
