Description

Dry adhesive tape is a double-sided, heat-activated tape that allows you to quickly install new seals, boots, or other items to your drysuit.

How It Works:
1. Thoroughly clean and prepare the bonding area of the suit.
2. Cut your tape to the desired length.
3. Peel off one side of the dry adhesive tape.
4. Position the tape on the drysuit, with the peeled side facing down, leaving the side that still has backing facing up.
5. Slowly apply heat to the tape, using an iron, heat gun, or hair dryer. Take your time!
6. Smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles in the tape.
7. Slowly remove the tape backing. You can now affix another piece of the suit to the tape.
a. We recommend using a heat gun or hair dryer instead of an iron
when fusing two pieces together to avoid potentially damaging
the suit.


IMPORTANT Note:
While dry adhesive tape will adhere to latex and some plastics, it will NOT adhere to neoprene, trilaminate, or any other cloth material without first adding a urethane base layer (we recommend GEAR AID Contact Cement).
To do this, first completely cover the bonding location (suit side) with the Contact Cement. Allow this base layer to dry completely, which usually takes about 30 minutes. Once dry, the adhesive tape will adhere securely to the urethane layer on the suit. Remember Clean and clean again! This means ALL surfaces and both sides of the tape.

If you ever have any questions, please call our drysuit repair team and we will be more than happy to assist.

Great Tape

Works as advertised, very forgiving compared to suit cement or aqua seal.

Iron on tape
Review by
Product works great, use a heat gun on low and a wallpaper roller. Otherwise you will have to keep the latex protected from the iron, it is too hot to avoid damage.

Waste of money
Review by
Bought the tape thinking it was to good to be true and it was, leaked on the first dive had to redo seals with the glue to stop leaks don’t wast your money just buy the glue

~ Dive Right In Scuba
If that happened, you either used it on the wrong material, or didn't follow the directions properly. You have to clean all surfaces, even both sides of the tape with MEK or Acetone. If
you didn't do all of that, or used something differently, it wouldn't work. This product works flawless when used properly. Feel free to call me so we can see where the install
went wrong. ~ 815-267-8400

Very easy to use - make sure to clean all surfaces very well
Review by
Very easy to use. Hardest part about using this is measuring everything and cutting it to fit the piece being adhered. Make sure to clean the suit, the tape, and anything else that will be involved. I've had great results using MEK to clean the parts, and this makes the tape get sticky which makes it easier to put in place prior to applying heat from a heat gun.

Nerve-Wracking at first, but worth it
Review by
Rip off my old deteriorating latex neck seal and attach a new silicone one myself? Sounds scary, I better send it off. But no, the folks at DRIS walked me through the process. The first initial ironings and heat-gunnings were a bit scary. But then I got the hang of it and it went pretty smoothly. I spent more time worrying and playing around with scraps than actually doing it. Five dives later (even down to 120 ft) and everything is still good! It was nice to have a friend help hold things down (while wearing oven mitts) while I was using the heat gun and roller.

Really great product
Review by
I really like how easy and clean the wrist seal version of the dry adhesive tape works. Definitely watch the video and follow the steps including using MEK to clean the seal and a roller to press it tight. I previously bought this product and didn't use MEK to clean and the seal failed after about 20 dives.

Incredible product, so easy to use!
Review by
I am totally pleased with the round permanent wrist system as it was very easy to install using the dry tape from DRIS. Being able to safely and quickly change wrist seals is very important when a compromised drysuit could end your day of diving. I used the latex bottle seals and they are very comfy and the sizing is right on. Could not recommend these products any more!!! Thanks DRIS!

much better than glue

Best adhesive ever
Review by
I've used this to install wrist and neck seals on my Tri lam suit. It's is great and you don't have to rush or worry about getting it right the first time you lay down the seal onto the suit. For use on Tri lam suit you do need to use glue and let dry overnight but then installing the seal is so easy. With a heat gun you can adhere small sections of the seal at a time so you can get a nice clean install.

Better than duck tape
Review by
This is a very quick fix and much better than my typical solution of duct tape. Get it done right the right time.
