Tried a new drysuit sealant on a deep job last week and it failed at 90 feet
I was working a bridge project in Tampa and decided to try this silicone-based sealant another diver swore by. Slapped it on my neck seal the night before, thought it felt good. Got down to 90 feet and felt that cold trickle running down my back, had to abort the whole dive. Cost me half a day and had to explain to the foreman why we were behind. Anyone else had bad luck with those quick-fix sealants or is it just me?

Yeah man, same thing happened to me with that silicone junk at 80 feet.

@jakel36 hit the nail on the head. That silicone stuff is garbage. Tried the same thing on a glove seal last year and it let go at 70 feet. Cold water down the arm is no joke.
