Replacing Drysuit Zipper on the back entrance scuba diving dry suit

[@DanielSpielberg]

Nice video thank's. Did you try to replace a t-zip on a semi-dry suit ? on such suit does removing the old t-zip (sandwiched between two neopren layers) should be also done with a hairdryer ?

[@DrySuitProjects]

Removing the neoprene with the hairdryer will not work, the neoprene insulates the heat and its not reaching the glue. For the semidry suits the zipper sometimes sold with pre-glued sandwich, which should be sewn instead of the old one. Something which is not doable at home, need a special sewing machine

I just found your 2018 video. How durable was the TIZIP zipper? I was recently told that I should not use it for a rear zip drysuit. They said the plastic would not handle the stress of flexing my shoulders. Did you have any issues?

[@DrySuitProjects]

Haven’t seen issues from ones flexing their shoulders. There is a possible wear from backplate and shoulder straps rubbing against the unprotected zip, though. Which is true for a brass zip at same extent

Will sc4000 adhesive work with neoprene suits?

[@DrySuitProjects]

Yep
